Bennet R. Goldberg

Until 2010 Bennet was a Management Partner with the Dallas, Texas-based Hunt Private Equity Group (HPEG), an affiliation that began in 2002, when he was recruited by the firm to serve as the CEO of Cellotape, Inc., a former HPEG portfolio company. Subsequent to the sale of Cellotape in 2004, Bennet worked closely with HPEG’s entire team of investment professionals, helping them assess LBO investment opportunities in middle market consumer product and service businesses.

Prior to his work in the private equity arena, Goldberg's executive management experience over a 25-year period covered a range of industries, including consumer audio, pre-recorded music and video, video games, catalog marketing, and high technology, with a core focus on strategic marketing, sales management, international operations and value-added distribution. He was the CEO of Pacific Microsonics, leading it through its ultimate sale to Microsoft in 2000, EVP of Marketing for Inmac Corporation during its turnaround phase and subsequent sale to MicroWarehouse, and led Quantum Corporation's international sales, marketing and globalization efforts during the early 1990s.

Bennet has served as a director on the boards of numerous privately held companies, and has also been a member of the International Council at the George Washington University’s Elliot School of International Affairs. He earned a BA with Phi Beta Kappa honors from The George Washington University, an MA from the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, and an MBA from the Harvard Business School.
