B<\/span>y Courtney Zerrenner\"Roberto<\/p>\n

Roberto Arias, recent Darden graduate from the Class of 2016, returned to his home country, the Dominican Republic, to start Plataforma Capital Group (\u201cPCG\u201d), a private equity firm focused on supporting and growing family businesses. PCG partners with founders, family members and strong management teams to add value to existing family-run businesses in the Dominican Republic.<\/p>\n

After completing his undergraduate degree at Bentley University, Roberto worked at his family\u2019s business in the Dominican Republic for five years. During his tenure as Portfolio Manager for his family\u2019s investment office, he noticed that the \u201cfamily business lacked the necessary tools to succeed a very decentralized and inefficient organizational structure. The prevailing structure resulted in complicated processes and limited the firm\u2019s ability to utilize available resources well.\u201d These observations and lessons gathered from his family\u2019s own business inspired Roberto to form PCG.<\/p>\n

After experiencing first-hand, the complexities of family-run businesses, Roberto decided he needed \u201cto take his career to the next level, and the key to that was a proper finance education.\u201d When surveying the top MBA programs and visiting the schools that he was accepted to, Darden stood out to Roberto immediately. He cited \u201cthe people, the faculty, and the brand of Darden\u201d that drew him in. \u201cA lot of it had to do with the case method and the opportunity to learn through practical application,\u201d but ultimately he \u201cjust fell in love with the Darden community.\u201d<\/p>\n

Roberto explained although \u201ccoming into Darden, I knew starting my own private equity firm in the Dominican Republic was what I wanted to do, you get drawn into the busy-ness of first year.\u201d Throughout the first year of Darden, his focus shifted to internships and future job placements, rather than planning for the firm he hoped to start. After a summer in investment banking in the United States and an internship with a U.S. private equity firm, Roberto realized that his earlier dream of returning to the Dominican Republic was still his post-graduation goal. He spent his second year at Darden planning PCG\u2019s inception.<\/p>\n

At Darden, \u201cit\u2019s hard to pinpoint who had the most impact on me, because everyone enhanced my experience.\u201d The diversity of background of each Darden student also allows \u201cyou to learn from your peers and their perspectives. For example, I had a former consultant in my learning team, and he taught me so much about how to think about problems and solutions.\u201d Professors prove to be a guiding force as \u201cduring the second year you design your own curriculum, and Professor Susan Chaplinksy helped me refine my thinking. I\u2019m pursuing private equity as a career in part due to her passion and commitment to teaching Private Equity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Building the ability to listen well, a trait that one of Roberto\u2019s learning team members exemplified, was one of the greatest lessons from Darden for Roberto. \u201cBefore Darden, I talked more than I needed to, trying to prove myself. Darden allowed me to build confidence in my abilities and become a better listener. Now, I research and listen to others before I draw conclusions.\u201d While Roberto has only been out of Charlottesville for two months, he has found that \u201cas a Darden MBA, I have all the tools to make a meaningful contribution to my community, not only in terms of business but in terms of social change. And it\u2019s incredibly important to remember that.\u201d<\/p>\n
