Frequently asked questions
How do you partner with private capital firms to assess leadership before the deal closes?
We help to translate the investment thesis into a talent thesis. We identify the leadership capabilities required to deliver the value creation plan; assess the CEO, CFO, or broader management team against those requirements; and surface the risks that could affect conviction before close. The primary goal is to answer whether the team can deliver on the thesis under different conditions.
Our suite of pre-deal services also includes strategic introductions, forensic referencing, and pre-search.
How do you support portfolio companies?
We help sponsors and portfolio companies make the leadership calls that drive value creation. That could include CEO, CFO, CHRO, and other C-suite search; transition advisory; board and chair appointments; AI and digital transformation leadership; assessment and development; and top team effectiveness. The common thread is speed with rigor and judgment.
What makes a portfolio company leader different?
The strongest leaders combine operating credibility with investor fluency. They can quantify value creation, manage under leverage or capital constraints, move at pace, communicate with boards and lenders, build strong teams, and make decisions with incomplete information. The question is whether the leader can deliver on the thesis under pressure.
How can portfolio company boards add more value?
By moving beyond oversight into disciplined value creation. Effective portfolio company boards sharpen the thesis, pressure test management, fill gaps in industry or functional expertise, support transformation, and ensure the sponsor and management team are aligned. The best boards increase decision quality and speed.
