In the Chair with Brent Belzberg

At the start of his career, Brent Belzberg, Founder and Senior Executive Chairman of TorQuest, set out to prove that success in the cutthroat world of private equity could be achieved by the “nice guy”. Thirty years later, Brent’s values- and relationship-driven approach to business has made TorQuest a $5.5 billion leader in middle-market acquisitions, and has shaped his attitude towards philanthropy, family, and community. In this conversation, Brent shares his views on the importance of collaboration, the value of humility, and why kindness is a strength both within and beyond the boardroom.
