Daniel Adamson – Innovation from Asset Giants at Capital Constellation (EP.136)

Daniel Adamson is a Senior Managing Director at Wafra and the President of Capital Constellation, a joint venture between mega asset owners in Europe, North America and the Middle East that invests in the next generation of private equity managers.
