Private equity owners need leaders who can deliver a value-creation plan on a defined timeline. We recruit chief executives, finance leaders and functional executives for sponsor-backed companies, working directly with deal teams, operating partners and management.

Our approach
How we approach these searches
Start from the investment thesis
We define each role against the value-creation plan, the capital structure and the expected timeline, not a generic job description.
Assess for the sponsor environment
Candidates are evaluated on their experience with board reporting, lender requirements and the pace of private equity ownership.
Work alongside the deal team
We keep the sponsor and management aligned throughout, from scoping to offer.
