Driving Growth and value in PE-Backed Businesses
Private equity is under pressure to deliver - and value creation is getting harder. Multiples are tighter, exits are slower, carry is reducing, and there’s growing evidence that revenue is now viewed as the lead lever ahead of cost or capital structure.
That sets a challenge for portfolio companies: re-align revenue engines and execution to meet investor ambition.
I’m brought in by investors and leadership teams to solve problems, accelerate growth, unlock synergies and adapt commercial engines - post-deal, mid-hold, or ahead of exit to meet accelerated ambition and new environments.
distinctive delivery model
Advisory insight + transformation leadership + operational execution
It takes a combination of skills to drive impact. I have worked at up to Partner and Managing Director roles at and mid-market, private equity and large scale businesses including Marsh McLennan, AXA and McKinsey.
I am typically engaged to drive transformation and more-often-than-not retained as a transitional commercial officer - bridging investor ambition with day-to-day delivery.
The impact is clear — growth accelerated, deals integrated, performance turned around, governance strengthened.
