Читать книгу The Private Equity Toolkit - Tamara Sakovska - Страница 21

I owe a debt of gratitude to my family, who supported me throughout my book-writing journey and helped bring this project to fruition. A warm thank-you to my wonderful husband Frederik, who was the first reader of every chapter in the book (not always entirely by choice). I would also like to acknowledge the invaluable support of my children, August and Daria. Thank you for coming with me to my office during numerous weekends and inspiring me to persevere during challenging times. I also would like to thank my sister Julia, my parents and grandparents for instilling me with a strong work ethic and teaching me the importance of critical thinking.

I am fortunate to have an extraordinary group of friends, many of whom encouraged me to write this book and provided constructive comments on my manuscript: thank you, Stefan Loesch, Oksana Denysenko, Helena Clavel-Flores, Irina Grigorenko, Vittoria Stefanello, Leopoldo Carbone, Julia Shur and Oksana Tiedt. In addition, I am grateful to Lee Barbour for delivering first-class editing support, and to Emma Stefanello and Michael Majdalani for providing excellent research assistance.

I would like to express my gratitude to Eli Talmor, Dirk Donath, Giampiero Mazza, Joshua Rosenbaum, Joshua Pearl, Alex Emery and Ted Berk. Each of these highly accomplished individuals were kind enough to read my book and provide me with their personal endorsement.

A special thanks to everyone in the Wiley team who assisted me in making this book a reality: my acquisitions editor, Bill Falloon, my assistant acquisitions editor, Samantha Enders, my managing editor, Purvi Patel, and my Editorial Assistant, Samantha Wu.

Finally, I would like to say thank you to a long list of brilliant work colleagues who taught me everything I know about private equity and dedicated their time to developing my investment acumen early in my career. I can't name you all, but you probably remember the long hours we worked together and know who you are, folks. Thank you!
