Leadership is the most powerful lever for change — and value creation.

During a hold period, time is money. To create value as soon as possible, both investors and management teams need to be operating at full capacity, confident in their decisions.

Our approach is unique

Among private equity & principal investor advisory firms, we stand out. Our first clients in 1995 were private equity investors, so we’ve refined a methodology that works across the lifecycle of the deal. From due diligence to value creation to exit, we’ll help you make better, faster people decisions at every step.

We give you the data and the perspective you need to influence positive change and create value faster.

We set the gold standard for investor leadership assessment

Our clients tell us our work and insights are truly distinctive, and since they include the majority of the top 20 largest PE and Principal Investors and their portfolio companies, we’re inclined to believe them. We average 200+ projects per year and have assessed 3000+ CEO candidates.

Learn why our clients say we’re the gold standard for private equity consulting and leadership assessment.
