Private Equity

Private equity demands leadership that can drive rapid value creation within compressed timelines. Harvard Group International's private equity practice serves PE firms and their portfolio companies with executive search, leadership assessment, and succession planning.

We recognize the unique demands of private equity: leaders who thrive under ownership-oriented cultures, can execute 100-day plans, and can drive operational and financial performance toward successful exits. Our relationships with PE firms nationwide give us insight into what sponsors seek in portfolio company leaders.

Our PE practice supports searches across the investment lifecycle, from pre-close due diligence on management teams to CEO searches for platform investments to CFO placements in preparation for exit. We have particular expertise in CFO and finance leadership searches, understanding the financial acumen and sponsor communication skills required for these roles.
