In the guest chair:
With Mike Lonergan, Georgia Oak Partners
Michael Lonergan, the Managing Director at Georgia Oak Partners joined us in the studio to talk about the kinds of companies, sectors and sub-sectors they are drawn to invest in, and why they choose a long-term and very involved style of investing.
Georgia Oak Partners is a highly differentiated investment platform focused on growth private equity investments in the Southeast. Their model uniquely combines operational and financial expertise throughout the investing process: from deal sourcing, to strategic appraisal, to post-acquisition value creation. Their strategic approach and operational philosophy can generate long-term stakeholder value through the spectrum of business lifecycles, from turnaround situations to acquisition growth strategies.
In the headlines:
- A New York non-profit is launching a new woman focused “coding school” here in Atlanta.
- Spanx is looking to patent their cute butt technology.
- Governor Deal expands the HOPE Grant program to cover full tuition for some select fields of study.
- And Georgia lawmakers debate the pros and cons of the driverless car on their way to perhaps legalizing the vehicles in our state.
