Brad Jacobs is a career CEO and the founder of
Jacobs Private Equity (his family office). Brad created and grew
three platforms using a roll-up strategy that resulted in seven
multibillion-dollar publicly traded companies. He and his teams
have raised $30 billion of capital, completed 500 acquisitions,
created hundreds of thousands of jobs, and generated annual returns
to shareholders in excess of 50%. Brad shares his playbook in his
aptly named book, How to Make a Few Billion Dollars.
In December, he announced a billion-dollar PIPE into a new platform
opportunity, of which $900 million is his personal capital.
Our conversation is a master class in all aspects of leadership and
management, including identifying an opportunity, acquiring
businesses, assessing people, managing talent, running operations,
leading electric meetings, motivating and compensating team
members, and embarking on his next platform investment.
