LAS VEGAS — Organizers of the annual P&A Leadership Summit have announced that Jorge Gross, principal of Trivest Partners, the private equity firm that purchased National Auto Care (NAC) and Family First Dealer Services (FFDS), has agreed to speak at the 2015 event, which will be held Sept. 8–10 at Paris Las Vegas.
Trivest Partners made headlines in 2013 when it acquired NAC and FFDS; the companies merged in September of that year.
“I look forward to attending the P&A Leadership Summit and discussing the acquisitions and merger of National Auto Care and Family First Dealer Services, which have proven to be a tremendous investment for Trivest Partners,” Gross said. “I will touch on valuation, the variables we looked for, the aspects we liked and perhaps a few items I wish I had known before we completed the transactions. I will also speak to the process and effort of combining the two businesses.”
Gross joined Trivest Partners in 2006, after a successful tenure at Credit Suisse Boston. He has since been involved in over 20 transactions with an aggregate value of more than $600 million. Gross currently serves on the board of directors for NAC as well as GetixHealth and Northfield Industries.
“This is a rare opportunity to hear the inside story of a blockbuster deal in the P&A segment,” said David Gesualdo, show chair and publisher of F&I and Showroom and P&A magazines. “Jorge Gross will undoubtedly have the rapt attention of every audience member.”
Registration is now open for the P&A Leadership Summit. Attendees who register by Aug. 7 will enjoy a $100 early-bird discount. More information, including additional speakers and travel, is available at the event’s website.
