The Winning in Deals Network (WinD)
Provides a networking platform for deal professionals in private equity
Founded by partners from the KPMG Private Equity Group (PEG), this network fosters a community of professional, deal-focused individuals, building relationships and serving as a resource to each other. The WinD network aims to provide a platform for deal professionals in private equity to share insights, best practices, and challenges, as well as to enhance their professional development and career growth.
The WinD network steering committee is chaired by KPMG Private Equity partners Becky Favelyukis and Meredith Guelbert, who are joined internally by PEG managing directors and externally by senior deal professionals representing leading private equity firms.
Since it was founded in 2021, the WinD network has hosted more than 15 networking events in various KPMG hubs throughout the U.S., including New York, Boston, Houston, and San Francisco. More than 300 deal professionals have attended one or more of these events, which have included networking breakfasts, cocktail hours, mani-pedi sessions, and pickleball outings.
At KPMG, we are committed to providing relationship-building and a wealth of knowledge-sharing opportunities to help deal professionals accelerate their professional growth.
