Episode 260: Keith Butcher of ButcherJoseph, Part 2

Part 2. Bret Keisling is joined by Keith Butcher, who discusses the interplay between private equity and ESOPs, including what opportunities private equity firms see in ESOP investments, returning the entrepreneurial and strategic spirit that sometimes get lost when company founders retire, and his view that it's better for ESOPs to maintain a minority position with private equity investment than risk going out of business without it. Keith Butcher is managing partner and co-founder of ButcherJoseph & Co., a national investment banking firm focused on middle market M&A and ESOP advisory.
