How We Support Your Value Creation Plan
Targeted search solutions built for the operating realities of PE-backed industrial and services businesses.
The Moments That Define Enterprise Value
Whether it is a roll-up, carve-out, founder transition, turnaround, or organic growth, the right leader at the right moment changes the trajectory of a business. We recruit for those moments.
Post-Close Leadership
The first 100 days after acquisition set the tone for the entire hold period. We place the operating leaders who step in immediately: a new CEO, a corp dev hire to build an acquisition pipeline, or a CFO to own day-one reporting. They execute from the start.
CEOs, CFOs, Corp Dev, COOs, Division Leaders
Integration & Scale
As platforms grow through acquisitions, geographic expansion, or new service lines, leadership needs evolve. We identify the executives who can unify disparate teams, consolidate systems, build shared services, and maintain culture and performance through rapid change.
Integration Leaders, HR, Operations, Shared Services, IT
Exit Readiness
Preparing a portfolio company for a successful exit requires a leadership team that can withstand diligence scrutiny. We place the executives who professionalize finance, strengthen governance, build repeatable processes, and tell the growth story a buyer or new sponsor wants to hear.
CFOs, Controllers, General Counsel, Compliance, Sales Leadership
