The Private Equity Program was launched in 2007 under the direction of Associate Professor Laura B. Resnikoff ’76, a member of the Columbia Business School faculty since 1991. Professor Resnikoff has taught a series of electives, including Turnaround Management and the Master Class in Restructuring, one of the School’s inaugural Master Class offerings. In spring 2008, she offered the inaugural Master Class in Private Equity.
Professor Resnikoff joined the faculty after a robust career with both large-scale corporations and private equity entities. She has extensive global experience with private equity transactions, fund-raising and debt placements. During her Columbia Business School tenure, she has consulted with corporations in a variety of industries — as well as selected not-for-profit organizations — on all aspects of organizational, operational and financial restructurings.
