Episode 40 Rob Brown, Lincoln International

This time out, Rob Brown takes us inside Lincoln International LLC, one of the preeminent middle market investment banks.  Rob joined Lincoln as one of its first employees in 1998, rising to become CEO in 2021.  He charts his own and Lincoln’s development with great insight and good humor.  Stick around for the second half, in which Rob, Andy and Charlie have an extended discussion about the “science of the pitch,” particularly as it bears on and channels the development of younger team members.  The guitar on the wall in Rob’s Zoom background leads to an even more animated conversation – where each of the combatants list their top three greatest living guitarists. The responses are equal parts cringe-worthy and enlightened, depending upon your perspective.
