Let’s Talk
Questions, Answered.
We’re here for the follow-up questions too — reach out and a partner will respond within one business day.
Do you work directly with private equity sponsors, or only their portfolio companies?
Both. We work with capital sponsors on talent strategy at the fund level and with individual portfolio companies on the specific hires, permanent and interim, that fuel growth or carry a company through a transition.
What roles do you typically place across a portfolio company’s lifecycle?
Everything from C-suite executive searches (CFO, CIO, CAO, CPO) to interim and fractional leadership during transitions, plus specialized talent for transactions, finance & accounting, business transformation, and technology optimization.
Can you support a plan after a platform acquisition?
Yes. Interim and fractional leaders can be in place quickly to stabilize a function immediately post-close, while we run a parallel search for the permanent hire if one is needed.
Do you help with talent needs tied to M&A specifically?
Yes, our Interim Solutions: Transactions practice covers M&A, divestitures, carve-outs, spinoffs, and public-company readiness, plus Day 2 optimization once a deal closes.
What size sponsors and portfolio companies do you work with?
We’ve supported engagements from single-search relationships to enterprise-wide talent partnerships, including a wealth management platform with $75B+ in AUM across 40+ offices
