The world of private equity has been in a shambles since the onset of the financial crisis but some executives see that as an opportunity rather than a threat. Among them is David N. Roberts senior managing director of Angelo Gordon who manages the firm’s private equity business. A 16-year veteran of the firm Roberts also founded the firm’s opportunistic real estate area.
