Today's teacher is Rich Wells, Managing Director of the juggernaut software investor Insight Partners, which celebrates its 30th year anniversary this month. Let me start by saying that this class was both extra special and extra difficult for me. I've known Rich for 20 years, since our time as section mates in business school, and to shine a light on him and his story is both emotional and something I feel honored to be able to do, especially as this is Rich's first ever podcast.
My recollection of him from our business school days is similar to comments we heard from so many along the arc of his career. It just feels like Rich is about always the smartest guy in any room he's in. And more than that, though, he's also truly someone of what I can only describe as uncommon character.
