Private Equity
LPs no longer accept anecdote-led management diligence. We replace it with continuous bench telemetry across the deal pipeline, the portfolio and the exit window.
We act as the embedded leadership-intelligence function for global GPs across buyout, growth, infrastructure and private credit. The firm runs continuous bench telemetry across deal-stage management diligence, portfolio CEO/CFO rotations, value-creation operator pools and exit-window leadership re-scoring.
Across mega-buyout, mid-market, growth, infrastructure and private credit GPs.
Including 8 of the top-15 GPs by 2024 dry powder.
Continuous bench scoring across portfolio companies, refreshed monthly under live mandates.
OP placements scored against thesis-validation cadence and exit-window leadership re-pricing.
324 mandates across four regions.
We deliver this sector out of five global hubs — Sydney (HQ), Singapore, London, New York and Dubai — anchored to discrete supervisory regimes. Regional Managing Partners hold the primary client relationship; the global sector lead governs methodology, calibration and quality.

What we are calibrated to deliver.
Pre-close management assessments delivered in 7–10 business days under NDA-by-default discretion.
CEO and CFO bench scoring tuned to value-creation plan execution within the first 100 trading days.
Curated, continuously refreshed inventory of 1,200+ operating partners scored against thesis-validation track record.
Successor scoring against IPO-grade governance, strategic-buyer fit and continuation-vehicle leadership requirements.
The exposure pattern we price into every slate.
Failure to re-price the CEO bench within 9 months of thesis fade is the leading indicator of exit multiple compression.
Concurrent CFO transitions across 15%+ of a portfolio triggers LP advisory committee scrutiny.
LPACs now demand independent leadership assessment for continuation vehicle transactions.
Distribution-to-paid-in performance increasingly attributed to operator-bench quality in LP re-up decisions.
Anonymised by code; defensible by record.
Every engagement opens under NDA-by-default discretion. The mandates below are surfaced with code, region, remit and outcome — the underlying entity, candidate and counterparty detail remains under confidentiality envelope and is only disclosable on engagement under reciprocal NDA.
Identified CEO derailment risk 11 days pre-close; LPAC approved replacement-conditional close; 22-month exit at 2.7× MOIC.
Refreshed CFO benches across 47 portfolio companies; pre-empted 6 forced replacements and prevented 4 covenant trips.
Replacement CEO sourced and onboarded in 38 days; preserved exit window and delivered 2.1× MOIC inside fund hold period.
Built 24-person OP cohort across infrastructure, healthcare and consumer; cohort now governs 11 portfolio companies.
