Private equity is not a dog-eat-dog industry

Hear from Ireland Committee Chair as she sat down to discuss her career in private equity, so far.

Jennifer McMahon, Partner at Seroba — a European Life Sciences venture capital firm that focuses on biotech and medtech — is also the International Chair of Level 20 Europe and the instigator of the Irish chapter. Here, she explains why there are more misconceptions than mountains to climb when it comes to life in venture capital and why opportunities often masquerade themselves as obstacles.

There are times in your career when opportunities are presented to you. You can jump at them or you can let them pass you by. I would really advise people to give things a go.
