" "Many large private equity firms were interested in acquiring such strong brands — which is why I initially bowed out. A bidding war virtually guaranteed a higher sales price, so even if I won, I wouldn’t get paid well enough to invest my time and best talent in the company. I don’t like auctions, unless of course I’m running them.

Some emerging markets will check all the boxes — strong population growth, growing middle class, verge of investment grade, great leadership, and hunger for capital — and then be missing the one ingredient that enables you to monetize your investment: scale. Without scale, you don’t have liquidity. You have no optionality. In essence, you’re stuck. Africa is a great example. I think many countries, such as Botswana, have potential, but the upper and middle classes are too small for me to get involved. Chile is another example. It has the institutions and leadership, but only 17 million people — no scale.
