BDT Capital
[edit]I noticed a few firms that redirect to the principal, so I'm not sure how to break this out, but I will research the career section for updates.--CharlesDeMint (talk) 20:54, 16 March 2017 (UTC)

Hi. I work for BDT & MSD and I have some suggestions to update the article and make it more relevant.
- Please remove paragraphs 2 and 3 in the "Professional career" section. These paragraphs talk about Byron Trott's company, which has its own page. They can be replaced with the following text, which is more relevant to the subject of the article:
- In 2023, BDT & Company merged with MSD Partners, run by Gregg Lemkau. Trott and Lemkau had previously worked together at Goldman Sachs. Together, they formed BDT & MSD Partners, an investment and advisory firm. Trott and Lemkau serve as co-CEOs of BDT & MSD.[4][3]
- Add a section at the end of the article about Byron Trott's philanthropy:
- In 2018, Brian and Tina Trott founded the rootEd Alliance, which places college and career counselors in high schools in rural America.[8] They signed The Giving Pledge in 2021.[9] In 2023, Trott donated $20 million to start the STARS College Network, which assists students from small-town communities in enrolling in and graduating from college.[10] The following year, he pledged $150 million to help students from rural areas attend university.[11]
