Climb the Private Equity Ladder:    
Scaling Business via P/E

A Keynote with David Stanton, CEO, BS EE’87

Struggling to scale your venture beyond regional limits? What if private equity could be your strategic ladder to global growth, not just an exit?
Join us for an exclusive fireside chat with David Stanton, BS EE’87, CEO of CleanWater1—a premier provider of comprehensive water quality solutions built via acquisitions for utilities and industries. With 30+ years in water and environmental sectors, David shares a primer on leveraging PE as “stair steps” – starting with D-level regionals to prove models, ascending to C/B/A levels for national/international expansion.
