About the Practice
Private Markets and Private Equity are the picture of resilience: realizing new opportunities, making offers, and selling at great returns. As firms turn their sights increasingly to growth equity, value creation has become just as important as cost improvement to take their portfolio companies to the next level. Mapping out these exciting uncharted territories, the right leader can make all the difference. Whether a commercially oriented executive within the firm or an innovative leader for a portfolio company, fresh perspective and seasoned talent are crucial to the next frontier of private equity and venture capital.
TRANSITIONING FROM CONSULTING TO PRIVATE EQUITY
There are two primary paths for consultants into the Private Equity industry: the operations team and a portfolio company (while a small portion of consultants end up working in an Investment Team, firms primarily target individuals with investment banking or Private Equity backgrounds for these roles). Many consultants choose to join an Operations Team at the Private Equity level because it allows them to leverage their consulting toolkit to assess and drive operational improvement opportunities within a firm’s portfolio.
