Last week in London, we unveiled Total Monetization as a new lever for private equity value creation. With accelerating organic revenue growth currently being the top priority for PE Operators, our message resonated. Total Monetization strategy enables efficient and flexible growth, from flawlessly executing a price lift to more complex GTM transformations like introducing consumption pricing. We appreciate input from the 30+ Operating Partners who attended our Working Group at PEI and our Monetization Value Creation Dinner at the Ned; there is no one-size-fits-all playbook for total monetization at the portco level, yet. Thank you to Michael Mansard Chris Stennett Tom van Dael Jawad Bhatti for your partnership in developing our thought leadership. More to come soon on how Zuora's PE-backed customers create value via total monetization. #PrivateEquity #ValueCreation #Monetization #PE #Zuora #PEI
