Will Wells PE exits get better?

Incoming FT. There's been a lot of threads recently on the upward trajectory of Wells as a platform (#9 in league tables, recent senior hires, management focus, etc. etc.), but I'd really like to hear from anyone who works there or anyone in the industry about whether they see the quality of PE exits improving in the future, as they've just relatively not been on par with somewhat similar EBs and BBs.

I know that the Charlotte HQ will continue to make things difficult and that the struggles the firm has had in the past can be tough to shake, but just curious to know what thoughts are generally.
