Lowenstein’s new group: Private Equity Council

This may be one of the last few occasions we will ever hear something about Doug Lowenstein. We all know that he will be leaving his position as the ESA president come February. While we will never really know what made the influential official resign, we guess at least we can tell you where he is going.

The new group that Lowenstein will be heading is called the Private Equity Council. We haven’t heard nor read much about this group yet, so we’ll just quote the official press statement:

[It is a group] whose purpose will be to conduct research and provide information about the industry to policy makers and others interested in understanding what private equity is, how it operates and the increasingly important role this alternative asset class plays in the U.S. and global economy.

Furthermore, Lowenstein will start heading the Private Equity Council as soon as he steps down from ESA presidency. Lowenstein claimed previously that despite this development, his days at the office is still very busy, and that he is still very much involved with ESA until he leaves.
