ABOUT

Jeffrey Hou

Jeffrey began his career on Wall Street at Barclays, providing M&A advisory as well as debt and equity financing to clients in the technology, media, and telecommunications industries. In his time as an investment banker, Jeffrey advised and executed on transactions totalling ~$30 billion. 

 

He would then spend several years at Thomas H. Lee Partners (THL), a Boston-based private equity firm that has managed or deployed $50 billion of equity capital. As an investor, Jeffrey focused primarily on THL’s activity in front office software, IT operations software, and cybersecurity. In addition, Jeffrey helped oversee the firm’s investments in several portfolio companies. Jeffrey’s exposure to operating roles within the fund’s portfolio piqued his entrepreneurial interest, inspiring him to pursue an MBA to learn more about the entrepreneurship-through-acquisition model. 

 

A lifelong athlete and two-time collegiate Division 1 rowing national champion, Jeffrey is constantly in search of his next athletic pursuit. He recently won his first amateur boxing match, and has competed in recreational basketball and ice hockey leagues. In his spare time, he enjoys studying mythology, playing video games, and spending time with his two cats, Freya and Luna. 

 

Jeffrey holds a B.A. from Columbia University and an MBA from Wharton.
