Strong management can make or break a deal and yet private equity firms often struggle to put the right people in the right roles fast enough to enhance portfolio company value. Getting talent decisions right—and fast — is one of the most critical challenges private equity firms face. Indeed, time is money. Because when a PE firm buys a company, the success of an investment is judged the by the IRR the investment generates. And IRR is time-based. Once the deal closes, you're on the clock. The faster you can drive the value creation initiatives that underlie the investment thesis and put the right people in the right positions to execute them, the greater your IRR. Today, we are seeing a standoff between employers and executives making it difficult to accelerate value creation initiatives efficiently. It’s important to know: 1)Executives are less likely to relocate for a role. 2)Executives are getting creative with compensation packages and vice versa for employers. 3)The need for interim leaders is on the rise and is a great way to keep projects moving forward while looking for a full-time executive.

The first half of 2024 presented a mixed landscape for private markets. Mergers and acquisitions activity increased by 12% YoY, yet is still 50% below the highs of 2020 and 2021. Despite slight improvements in liquidity and easing macroeconomic headwinds, new platform deals remain slow. Check out our recent blog post to gain further insight into the trends shaping the private equity landscape. #PrivateEquity #MergersAndAcquisitions

I sat down with two first-time interim leaders who recently completed separate projects. Their biggest takeaway — be confident in the position and the value you bring to the situation, and act as if it's your permanent position. Understanding the opportunity for impact is critical as a first-time interim executive. Many have a preconceived notion that there are boundaries they must adhere to, but that could not be further from the truth. Read the full article below to learn key lessons from an interim CAO and interim SVP FP&A. #interimleader #interimexecutive #projectresources #executivesearch
