“The potential for private equity firms is to actually set best-in-class standards,” William says.

Today on Dry Powder, I ask William what best-in-class measures look like and how they’re unlocking tremendous opportunities on the social side of the equation.

“There’s an enormous number of measures that exist on what people might consider the ‘S’ side,” William says. “That’s livelihoods, wage gains, health measures, years of productive engagement. It’s lives saved, mortality—those are things that people care about enormously.”
