The need to unlock potential and drive value at private capital organizations continues to be a talent challenge. But are portfolio company leadership progressive enough and willing to think outside of the existing talent box? Read on to hear how Hypatia Kingsley and Jaemi Taylor address these challenges 👇 #leadershiptalent #privateequity #executivesearch
Welcome once again for the third episode of __Hypatia Onboards: The Mini-Series__ where I practice pitching my new firm’s capabilities and share insights from our terrific team at Leathwaite! My co-author and faculty member for this episode is Jaemi Taylor, a Director in our Human Resources Practice. Jaemi co-leads the HR Practice in the Americas, focusing on strategic senior-level placements in human capital for both both public and private Fortune 500 clients as well as private equity-backed companies. Her 20+ year career has honed her expertise as a trusted and accomplished talent advisor. Jaemi's article (👇) focuses on the increasing gaps in private capital portfolio company leadership and how progressive private capital organizations are willing to think outside of the existing talent box: - Lengthened investment horizons and more complex deals are shrinking the pool for "been-there-done-that" experience; - Private capital's ability to gauge a leader's potential must improve, a huge challenge given volatility; - Experiential use cases such as transformation and turnarounds can indicate potential, and longer horizons allow more time for talent development internally and benchmarking externally; - increasing diversity is overdue as diverse hires can tap into more wells of potential; - Human capital leaders are becoming sophisticated partners to both investment teams and portfolio companies; - This new breed of leader can challenge norms and widen the aperture of diversity within the talent pool for private capital.

She's back! The second installment, in collab with Helen Parker and Kaila (Malone) Rakin, sees Hypatia Kingsley discuss role changes across the financial team. From elevation of the CFO to the ongoing risk of glass cliff scenarios, have a read and let us know what you think 👇 #CFO #Leadership #executivesearch
Welcome back to __Hypatia Onboards: The Mini-Series__ where I practice pitching my new firm’s capabilities and share insights from our fantastic team at Leathwaite! Next up on the faculty front are Kaila (Malone) Rakin and Helen Parker, two stellar Consultants in our CFO practice. Helen has been with us for seven years and has worked in both our London and New York offices and specializes in both financial services and private equity portfolio companies. Kaila joined us eight years ago and has a specialization in CFOs as well as other executive roles in financial services and corporate roles in private equity. Kaila and Helen’s article (👇) highlights the latest in Financial Officer leadership as we enter the second half of 2024: - default elevation of the CFO role is having impact on other financial officers; - CFO profiles have decidedly changed (only one of the 20 new Fortune 100 CFOs in 2023 has a CPA), creating larger technical and leadership gaps in the accounting and tax functions; - As a consequence, the roles of the Chief Accounting Officer and Chief Tax Officer are on the ascendancy with higher expectations for their own transformative impact; - These pressures are driving a looming succession crisis in senior tax leadership across the sector; - Technology debt is felt acutely in finance organizations, and those orgs who automated early and often (for example big tech companies) are winning the talent wars; - Diversity amongst financial officers has shown incremental improvement and yet the risks of “glass cliffs” remain real.
