From Wall Street to non-profits

default userpic

wallstreet.jpgCCMP Capital Advisors is one of the top private equity firms on Wall Street.  And, its chairman, Jeff Walker, is one of the best in the business. 

Well, by summer, he plans to retire.  Although, this doesn't mean he'll be sitting around.

Actually, Walker plans to spend much of his time on non-profit efforts.  No doubt, his own cash - as well as connections - will be a big help.  What's more, I'm sure he'll apply some of his strong management techniques.

He has already donated money to a variety of non-profits, such as the Millennium Promise (which focuses on poverty in Africa) as well as NPower (which helps with the digital divide in the inner city). 

All in all, it's good to hear.  And, as the Baby Boomers begin to retire, let's hope that they will also consider the path that Walker is embarking on.
