It was such a privilege to interview Carl Thoma, my mentor and OG, at the SEO Scholars San Francisco Achievement Benefit. Carl was honored for his remarkable contributions to the private equity industry and his commitment to philanthropy. ? Over the past 25 years, Carl taught me most of what I know about investing and philanthropy. From his humble beginnings in rural Oklahoma to becoming a pioneer in private equity and the creator of the buy-and-build approach, Carl's journey is nothing short of inspiring. ? Beyond his involvement with SEO, Carl is committed to expanding higher education opportunities for promising students in rural regions in the U.S. Thank you, Carl, for being such an inspiration. It was wonderful to see so many members of the Thoma Bravo team present to celebrate your well-deserved recognition.
