Episode 12: How Blackstone Doubled Versace in 4 Years

On 15 July 1997, Gianni Versace was shot on the steps of his Miami Beach mansion. His sister Donatella held the house together for 17 years. Then Blackstone walked in with 210 million euros for 20%, and in 4 years the Medusa doubled in value.
In the final episode of Module 1, I break down the five levers of private equity value creation, told through the most dramatic fashion house in history.

In this episode:
• How Versace went from 1 billion to 1.83 billion in enterprise value
• The five value creation levers: retail, revenue, digital, management, exit
• Why Blackstone installed a new CEO from Alexander McQueen
• Jargon Buster: what ‘value creation’ actually means in PE
• Ask Carlo: why not every PE deal succeeds
• The Numbers: how to read a value creation bridge
