Happy National Intern Day! We’re savoring the remaining weeks with our 18 exceptional interns, who have been serving up skills both in the kitchen and the office.

We’re thrilled to welcome Albert Leung, the newest Managing Director in our Transformation Practice. Albert brings over 25 years of experience in performance improvement, large-scale transformations, merger integrations, and carve-outs. Having served as a hands-on operational and financial advisor to various PE sponsors and their portfolio companies, he’ll fit right in as we get in-the-weeds with clients tackling transformation initiatives. We can’t wait to see how Albert will make his mark on the better way to work in finance.

2024 has changed what sponsors expect from their portfolio company CFOs. The first quarter alone has seen record demand to fill historically high CFO vacancies. This means that PE-backed CFOs who want to thrive in their roles need a new plan to hit the ground running in their first 100 days. Our new 10-step playbook lays out an ambitious strategy to uncover hidden value: https://lnkd.in/ewnWGnSc
