Damon Buffini remains one of the best known people in private equity. After a decade as the figurehead of UK buyout firm Permira, he has moved to work day to day on deals for the firm. He has been a regular in Financial News's list of the 100 most powerful people in finance. Here Financial News profiles where he is now.

Buffini became one of few public faces of private equity in 2006 after being targeted directly by a UK union criticising Permira's role in the buyout of UK motorway services company the AA.
