CDS Executive Vice President
Bob Webster

“Doing Deals” will be the focus of CDS Executive Vice President Bob Webster’s upcoming presentation at the Aspen Network of Development Entrepreneurs’ (ANDE) Orientation Training: SGB Investing 101. This is the second time Bob will offer this half-day training presentation, part of CDS’ expanding partnership with ANDE which is built on the two organizations’ common commitment to advancing entrepreneurship in emerging markets.

The two-day training, geared toward new hires and summer associates of ANDE members, takes a comprehensive overview of the small and growing business sector, and looks at such topics as financial models, impact investing, sector analysis, social entrepreneurship and more. In the “Doing Deals” portion, Bob will focus on finding and screening deals, due diligence, valuation and deal structuring, and adding value.

The conference will be held in New York on May 23rd and 24th. For further information about the conference, or to register, click here.
