Gregg Lemkau Biography

Gregg Lemkau is co-chief executive officer of BDT & MSD Partners, a merchant bank with an advisory and investment platform designed to serve the needs of business owners and long-term investors. He is a member of the bank's executive and investment committees. In addition to his role at BDT & MSD Partners, Lemkau serves as chairman of DFO Management, the investment office of Dell Technologies founder Michael Dell and his family.

Lemkau began his career at Goldman Sachs as an analyst in mergers and acquisitions. He was named managing director and later partner, contributing to the expansion of the firm's technology mergers and acquisitions business in San Francisco. Over nearly three decades at Goldman Sachs, Lemkau held leadership roles including global co-head of the Technology, Media and Telecom Group, global co-head of the Healthcare Group, and chief operating officer for the Investment Banking Division. He ultimately served as co-head of global investment banking, advising clients on hundreds of transactions representing more than $1 trillion in deal value across the United States and Europe.

After leaving Goldman Sachs, Lemkau joined MSD Partners, the investment firm managing the capital of Michael Dell and his family, as chief executive officer. He led efforts to diversify the firm's investment portfolio and explore new sectors. MSD Partners later merged with BDT & Company to form BDT & MSD Partners, with Lemkau and Byron Trott as co-chief executive officers. The combined firm provides advisory services and capital to family- and founder-led businesses.

Lemkau serves as a board member of BlackRock and is a director of Qualtrics and Spurs Sports & Entertainment. He is a member of Discovery Land Consolidated's investor committee. Lemkau chairs the Board of Trustees at Dartmouth College and serves on the Board of Advisors for Team Rubicon, an organization that unites military veterans with first responders for emergency response. He previously chaired the Board of Directors for Grassroot Soccer, a nonprofit focused on using soccer to combat HIV and AIDS in Africa. Lemkau's experience spans mergers and acquisitions, capital management, and nonprofit leadership, providing insight into global business and finance.
