Who are you?

  • You are the CEO and in the process of being acquired or having been acquired by a Private Equity company.
  • Your background and situation may be:
    • You are a First-Time Private Equity CEO
    • You are the first CEO after the Founder of the company
    • You are a CEO not meeting the targets outlined in the Private Equity investment case
    • You are an experienced Private Equity CEO brought in early after the Private Equity investment
  • You have a new and active Board of Directors, including the Chairperson, and the Founder/former CEO may be now sitting on your Board.

“I know from my experience what it means to have no peers in your company, what it means to transition into a Private Equity operating model, the opportunities this brings, and the pressure to deliver. I am now passionate about bringing this experience into 1-on-1 coaching and mentoring of other CEOs.”

What specifically do I help you do?

  • Adopting your leadership and practices to medium-term strategic and operational planning with an intense focus on execution.
  • Embracing your new reality of results orientation and leading on metrics and benchmarking.
  • Managing new and substantial stakeholders in the Board of Directors.
  • Driving sustainable organic and inorganic growth to enable a successful exit for the Private Equity fund in 3-7 years.
  • If you are new in the role of CEO or a first-time Private Equity CEO, transitioning into the role and speeding up your learning process.
  • If you are taking over from the Founder and former CEO, navigating the emotional and rationale interactions when you want to drive changes to decisions and behaviors of the past.
  • If milestones outlined in the investment case are not met, making the right adjustments to resource allocations, leadership and organizational gaps, and communication to stakeholders.
  • If you are an experienced Private Equity CEO brought in early after the change of ownership, accelerating your impact in this new context and company.

"Everyone and every situation is unique, and it is exactly this that inspires me to actively listen, seek understanding, and then help you find the answers that will elevate you forward."

"I know from my experience what it means to have no peers in your company, what it means to transition into a Private Equity operating model, the opportunities this brings, and the pressure to deliver. I am now passionate about bringing this experience into 1-on-1 coaching and mentoring of other CEOs."

Why do I believe that I can support you?

  • I have many years of experience as a CEO and C-Level executive in companies going from 100% family ownership to a split or wholly owned by Private Equity.
  • I have remained close to the Private Equity sector and worked in Expert Roles.
  • I know how the Private Equity value-creation model works from the inside; either as a CEO myself or mandated by Private Equity.
  • I have already supported CEOs with my coaching, and I know the difference that my help makes when you look to upgrade your personal and professional strategies, tools, and practices, navigating the impacts of a change of role and ownership.

“Private Equity is and has been very successful in creating stakeholder value, however, the industry is undergoing significant changes in how they operate, how they engage with potential and actual portfolio companies, the CEO, and the senior leadership teams, and where they see future value generated. This impacts the role of the CEO, and I understand this”.

How, specifically, do I help you?

  • 1-on-1 Coaching: powerful questions that will help you find the right answers.
  • 1-on-1 Mentoring: you leverage me and my experience to find the right solutions for you to work on and implement.
  • You will have clarity on your personal and professional goals and why they matter to you.
  • You will be self-aware of your innate talents and how to turn them into strengths that you can proactively leverage as part of your approach and execute actions to reach your goals.
  • You develop action plans, identify the support resources needed, are aware of what may block your success, and learn and grow along the way.
  • You have an accountability partner in me who stays with you on your journey to success and is available when needed.
  • Our conversations are always confidential, providing a safe and trusting space.

“I will adopt a blended approach to our sessions so that I can help you find your own and best way forward. By offering my experience, knowledge, and skills and helping you be self-aware of your core strengths and personal and professional goals, you leave every session with clarity, confidence, and energy to drive actions.”
