Background

About Rick Walker

I am a Private Equity Associate at Leavitt Equity Partners (LEP), a value-add, healthcare focused private equity firm. I joined LEP in May 2023, after graduating from Brigham Young University (BYU) with a Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree, specializing in Finance and Entrepreneurship. I also hold a degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Utah. My core competencies include data analysis, financial modeling, and mergers and acquisitions (M&A). As a Private Equity Associate at LEP, I work with a team of experienced healthcare investors and operators to source, evaluate, execute, and manage investments in healthcare companies that have the potential to transform the industry. I leverage my analytical and financial skills to perform due diligence, valuation, and deal structuring, as well as to monitor and support portfolio companies in achieving their strategic and operational goals. I also contribute to the firm's business development and fundraising activities, building relationships with healthcare stakeholders, potential partners, and prospective investors. I am passionate about healthcare innovation and value creation, and I am motivated by the opportunity to learn from and collaborate with the LEP team and the healthcare community. I bring diverse perspectives and experiences to the team, as I have a background in chemical engineering, a certification in advanced Spanish language proficiency, and previous internships in real estate acquisitions.
