When a deal closes, portfolio company success is judged by two variables: 1) IRR 2) ROIC  A question our team has been hearing a lot: how does talent impact our ability to prove IRR and ROIC? It comes down to two key factors: 1) Do you have the right people in the right seats? 2) Are you making moves when the time is right? Achieving success post-transaction is typically dictated within the first 6 months of a transaction and evaluating your talent landscape can be tricky. Our team is here to help you navigate a short-term or long-term leadership plan. https://lnkd.in/ed27Qb7F #PrivateEquity #IRR #ROIC #ExecutiveSearch
