Private Equity: A Memoir (book)

The former executive assistant of Chase Coleman, the founder and CEO of Tiger Global, wrote a memoir about her time in that role.

It felt like a book written by someone with all the talent & opportunity in the world but who still doesn’t know what to do with their life.
