Private Markets + Portfolio Companies
We secure the CEOs, value-creation leaders and board members who can deliver investment theses fast, credibly and with full alignment to each sponsor's operating model.
Built for Sponsor Led Value Creation
- We understand PE cadence: 100-day plans, KPI-driven operating rhythms and board governance that accelerates decisions.
- We translate the thesis into a talent plan: “roles that move EBITDA, cash and multiples.”
Global Talent, Operator First
- We have immediate access to proven CEOs/CFOs/CROs/CTOs and Chairs/NEDs with repeatable PE playbooks.
- We identify and curate experienced leaders across carve-outs, integrations, turnarounds and growth platforms.
Founder Led, High Touch Execution
- Senior-led sourcing, referencing and closing; especially critical for confidential transitions.
- We restrict our portfolio of concurrent searches specifically to go deeper and move faster.
Integrated CEO + Board Advisory
- Board composition and committee design aligned to sponsor governance (Chair/SID/LID, audit/risk/comp).
- Compensation and equity structuring support (management incentives, retention, rollover dynamics).
Private Markets Leadership
- We bring immediate and intimate connectivity to experienced investment leaders with proven track records for Private Markets firms seeking to hire leadership in new strategies and geographies.
- We are extremely active with both large-cap and mid-market firms across the Americas and Europe (particularly UK and DACH) even though it is often our global search capabilities which are called upon.
- For venture capital, where we have established relationships with founders or investors, we are often engaged as advisors/board members for CXO searches; we may also participate as co-investors.
