Operational Value Creation

​

Whether the focus of the acquisition is buy-to-sell, buy-to-grow or buy-to-kill, our operating partners are hired to accelerate value creation.

Main functions include:

• Ensure businesses stay on track post-acquisition, with everyone working toward a successful exit.

• Balance cost-cutting and revenue growth initiatives to accelerate IRR.

• Detect early warning signs of business performance deviating from the investment case and promptly take appropriate recovery actions.

• Create value beyond the investment case.

• Strike a balance between support and challenge, develop a more active ownership approach, and interact with management teams and investors to ensure transparency of performance, clarity of decision making, and ultimately higher exit returns.

 

Where We Excel

​

• Simplicity and Clarity: We understand what needs to be done. We outline a simple strategy and mobilize teams.

• Gumption: Getting things done and adding muscle where needed.

• Accountability: Taking ownership of problems and their solutions.

• Focus: Knowing what to ignore and what to address.  We recognize that the portfolio leadership team has finite bandwidth.
