After a year in charge of the financial sponsors team at JP Morgan, Klaus Hessberger and Axel Beck talk to FN's sister publication Private Equity News about how they’ve adapted to the fallout from Brexit, why they’re building out their private equity team and what buyout firms are doing to boost returns in a toppy market.
