Just saw that Adam Beshara is making a pretty big move - he's leaving Centerview Partners after 14 years to become president at BDT & MSD Partners. Interesting timing since the firm's been pretty active with their founder and family office advisory business.

For context, BDT & MSD itself is relatively new - they merged in 2022 when Byron Trott's merchant bank combined with Michael Dell's family office investment arm. So they're still building out leadership, which is probably why Adam Beshara's appointment matters. He's been advising major companies like Johnson Controls, DuPont, and Walmart at Centerview, so he's got serious enterprise credentials.

The firm just lost Dina Powell McCormick to Meta (she became president there), so Adam Beshara stepping in as one of five presidents seems like they're reshuffling to keep momentum. Before Centerview, he spent 14 years at JPMorgan in senior roles, so it's that typical Goldman/JPM pipeline into these upper-tier advisory shops.

Starting in May apparently. Not sure how much this matters to most people, but these leadership moves usually signal where capital and advisory focus are heading. Anyone tracking BDT & MSD's strategy?
