The Investment Adviser Association and ACA Group are pleased to host an interactive discussion with Amy Knapp, partner and COO at Corsair Capital. Beginning in 2020, Corsair’s leadership developed an action-oriented, intentional diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) strategy that has continued to evolve and mature since that time. Amy will share insights and lessons learned thus far in Corsair’s DEI journey, with the aim to share practical, industry-relevant advice and good practices with other firms seeking to set and advance DEI objectives.
