Juan Sabater's path into investing is unusual, moving from a history degree at Princeton and Oxford to a law degree at Stanford, Army service, and M&A work before eventually helping build and sell parts of a company for about $500 million and then moving into private equity. He has also combined that investing career with public service, including time as an Army Reserve officer, a Biden-appointed seat on the U.S. Military Academy Board of Visitors, and a role on Puerto Rico's Financial Oversight and Management Board, while often describing success in terms of finding mentors and staying authentic rather than chasing status.
