Countries where invested

There are global firms, and then there are really, really global firms. You have to have the overall global vision, but you also need local relationships to pull the right levers to get the deal done and help companies on the ground. You also need the right technology credentials or the global profile won’t matter. There aren’t many firms like Bain Capital that have all those attributes
