Looking Over the Horizon w/ CVC's Rob Lucas

July 29, 2026

Hugh MacArthur (0:04)

Previously on Dry Powder, Rob Lucas, CEO of CVC, shared what Mountaineering has taught him about investing, from building teams that perform under pressure to planning for the unexpected. Today on the show, we'll turn that lens toward the future of private equity.

I'll ask Rob how CVC is navigating one of the toughest fundraising markets in decades and why performance and trust remain the bedrock of the LPGP model. We'll also discuss CVC's firm-wide embrace of AI.
