Private Equity & Venture Capital
40% of Global PMI Partners engagements are with Private Equity (PE) owned companies across all industry sectors, investment rationales, portfolio company deal rationales and PE & portfolio company operating models. A trend is increased PE management attention and intervention in portco operations during M&A to support management execution.
PMI Challenges Paragraph:
Challenges to M&A transactions by PE-owned companies:
• Build M&A and PMI capability (skills, tools and knowledge) just after investment in build-ups
• Need for extra bandwidth to augment management within M&A and PMI to create growth momentum
• Stand-up or integration of carved out assets (due diligence, transitional services, interim management, organization design, recruitment, core application and processes, etc.) · PE firms bring significant deal expertise, while often less hands-on experience with the intricacies of PMI, including culture, change and communication
