private equity Consulting

We recruit the best talent for boards, C-suite roles, and senior executive positions for private equity firms and portfolio companies.

We can help you:

• Fill critical roles
• Bring in interim leadership
• Build out your investment team ‍
• Build out your portfolio companies

Our experience and network across sponsors and their portfolios give us visibility into leadership across the market. We can quickly identify executives with the track record you need and make introductions when appropriate.

When a key executive leaves suddenly or you need a specific skill set for an urgent project, you need to fill that gap quickly to keep performance on track.

We provide seasoned private equity executives who can start within days and deliver the expertise you need, when you need it.

They keep performance on track while you search for the right permanent solution or execute urgent projects.

Before you commit capital, you need to know whether the management team can execute your plans and where potential gaps could hold the business back.

We run thorough evaluations, from non-invasive reference checks to comprehensive management team assessments.

That way, you can move forward knowing leadership can successfully execute your value creation plan.

The right compensation structure helps you attract leaders who can deliver measurable growth and improve performance. But you also need clear governance and an operating model built to scale.

We help you:

• Benchmark executive pay and design equity plans that support your value creation strategy
• Structure boards with the right mix of experience to guide the business and hold leadership accountable
• Evaluate operating models and benefits structures to flag weaknesses before they slow performance

Then you can close the deal knowing the business is structured to create value from day one.

As portfolio companies scale, the structure that worked at the start likely won't support the next phase. This can hurt team performance and ultimately limit the value you can create.

We help you build the operating frameworks your business needs to grow, whether you're integrating after an acquisition or preparing for exit.

We also develop succession plans to protect value when key leaders transition and provide coaching to help executives navigate growth challenges.

Before you invest capital or move a leader into a critical role, you need an independent view of their track record and the ability to spot any risks that may not show up in interviews or reference letters.

We go beyond candidate-provided references by conducting confidential, in-depth interviews with former managers, peers, and direct reports from across a leader’s career.

Our approach gives you a clearer view of how a leader operates, how they lead others, and whether there are integrity concerns that standard reference checks often miss.

We help you:

• Bring independent evidence into deal-close decisions on CEOs, CFOs, and other senior leaders
• Spot development gaps, behavior patterns, and red flags before critical hires
• Surface objective evidence you can use during partner promotions, succession decisions, and pre-exit leadership reviews
