This week on Generating Alpha, I sat down with Collin Roche — Co-CEO of GTCR, one of the most influential and consistently successful private equity firms of the modern era.

GTCR is widely known for pioneering the Leaders Strategy — a model that flips traditional private equity on its head by first identifying world-class executives, then building companies around them. Under Collin’s leadership, the firm has continued to scale and shape category-defining businesses across healthcare, software, and financial services, quietly creating billions in value behind the scenes.

Collin’s approach sits at the intersection of strategy, psychology, and long-term thinking. Rather than chasing trends, he focuses on people, structure, and disciplined execution — the unglamorous but decisive work that turns good ideas into great enterprises.

In our conversation, we spoke about what separates elite operators from average ones, how GTCR identifies leaders before companies even exist, and the habits and mindset required to compound advantage over decades.

It’s a rare look inside the thinking of a modern private equity leader helping shape the next generation of great companies — and the quiet architecture behind enduring success.
