Squaw Valley, home of the 1960 Winter Olympics, is controlled by affiliates of KSL Capital Partners, LLC, a private equity firm co-founded in 2005 by Michael Shannon ’83. Since acquiring Squaw Valley, KSL has made extensive improvements to enhance the guest experience, including installing new high- speed chairlifts, creating new terrain parks, expanding snowmaking capacity and adding new amenities in the base village. KSL, which owns and operates hotel and resort properties across the United States and United Kingdom, recently announced plans to invest more than $50 million in the Village at Squaw Valley, including creating new lodg- ing options, restoring Squaw Creek, preserving key Olympic buildings and developing additional family services and amenities such as the Mountain Adventure Center.

The rise of social media, globally integrated supply chains and the increasingly important role of NGOs have further acceler- ated this trend of private involvement in the public realm. While navigating the public-private interface remains fraught with difficulties, business leaders have learned how to recognize and embrace these challenges. These are the issues the Kellogg Public-Private Initiative seeks to address. In short, the initiative is for every business that wants to interact with the social and political environment — or has to. Why is this conversation happening at Kellogg? Kellogg has outstanding faculty recognized as among the most influen- tial thought leaders researching how private companies operate alongside government agencies. Many combine academic rigor with a passion for leading change within both public and pri- vate sectors. Finance Professor Jan Eberly returned from serv- ing as chief economist at the U.S.
