Audax Group

Byron Pavano is a Managing Director of Fund Strategy and Counsel for Audax Group, one of the most active private equity firms in North America with $36B in assets under management.

Our conversation covers Byron’s path from outside council for VC firms to inside counsel at Audax, insourcing vs outsourcing, the regulatory landscape across countries, and managing communications. We discuss AI disruption and use cases, the Audax deal process, and the operational interplay between the operations and investment teams. We close on ESG, DEI initiatives and advice on how high performers manage themselves and their relationships with investment-oriented founders.
