Seth's Story
Seth left the executive ranks and joined Apax as an experiment in 2008, tasked with developing a model for adding value in the portfolio through functional expertise. More than a decade later, that experiment is ongoing. The dynamic, entrepreneurial spirit at Apax has allowed him to attract a world-class team to the OEP platform, who have succeeded in building their own unique approaches to supporting management teams in pursuit of their goals. That same team, however, has failed to keep up with Seth’s constant quotes from his list (available on request) of 54 essential films from the 1980’s and ‘90s.
