BARRY RITHOLTZ, HOST, MASTERS IN BUSINESS: This week on the podcast I have an extra special guest, Scott Sperling co-CEO of T.H. Lee. He’s on the firm’s Management and Investment Committees.
T.H. Lee is one of the top private equity firms. They’ve been around since the 1970’s. They’ve done countless, countless deals, hundreds and hundreds of deals.
You might be familiar with some of their bigger deals. They did the Warner Music deal. That was a multibillion-dollar deal about 20 years ago. Dunkin’s is a group of franchisees from Dunkin’ Donuts. Perhaps the biggest deal they did or the most mindshare Cher was the Snapple deal. They bought Snapple. They took them public. They facilitated the sale to Quaker Oats.
