Portfolio Teams & Operating Partners

Portfolio Teams are growing in number and importance to Private Equity Funds.

 

Each Portfolio Team has been custom designed. This reflects the nascency of Portfolio Teams to the Private Equity industry, and the individuality of each firms culture. 

 

We have seen every model and can offer tailored advice on how to grow a Portfolio Team, or build from scratch. 

Portfolio Teams are not static. The industry has been on a journey of experimentation to find the right balance of Operating Partners, Portfolio Team Generalists and Functional Specialist. 

This journey will continue, and will provide sustained advantage to those who get it right.

Transformation Officers

Transformation Officers live and breath the Value Creation Plan on the ground alongside Company Leadership.

 

They enable cross-functional alignment and facilitate the execution of key initiatives, whilst keeping a holistic focus on where value is won and lost. 

Transformation Officers set the cadence of change initiatives within a business. They challenge groupthink and unsupported wisdom, whilst accelerating the work and championing the people that have the biggest impact. 

There is no one-size-fits-all profile of candidate, the best Transformation Officers are tailored to the company context, the Value Creation Plan and the Investment Strategy of the Investor. 

 

Meeting Room

Key Company Hires

Partnership between company leadership and Private Equity investors is more joined-up than ever before. 

 

We have a curated network of operators and leadership talent that have been successful working in Private Equity backed companies.

Both General Management and Functional Leadership. 

 

Through discrete referencing, we also handpick the best talent from leading corporates that don't yet have direct Private Equity experience. 

 

We work with companies from deal closing through to exit, and support Management Teams as they assemble a winning team.
