Exclusive CEO Masterclass:
Intentional Growth in a Changing Capital Market
A “Perfect Storm” Is Forming in the M&A Market
The capital markets are entering a period of significant transition.
Record levels of private equity capital remain undeployed, interest rates are stabilizing, and many funds are approaching the end of their investment cycles. Together, these forces are expected to accelerate middle market transaction activity over the next several years.
At the same time, macro volatility, from geopolitical conflict to energy market shocks, is creating uncertainty around traditional growth assumptions.
In environments like this, the companies that outperform are those that grow intentionally and profitably, not simply those benefiting from market momentum.
An Exclusive Session for CEOs and Founders
As part of his CEO Masterclass series, Matt Andersen, Author and CEO of Westlake Securities, will lead a live one-hour session focused on the principles behind Intentional Growth and how CEOs can position their companies to thrive in the current market environment.
This session is based on Matt’s upcoming book:
Intentional Growth: A Proven Guide to Higher Performance and Better Outcomes for Your Company
(Releasing Fall 2026)

• How CEOs should position their companies amid the current capital market shift
• What private equity and strategic buyers are prioritizing in acquisitions today
