Private Equity

Industry Overview

The private equity (PE) industry has grown steadily, but faces fundraising challenges amid higher interest rates and cautious investors. Traditional value creation through financial leverage is declining, pushing operational improvements to the forefront of portfolio management.

Portfolio companies increasingly require governance, standardized reporting, and scalable operations. PE firms focus on leadership alignment, operational oversight, and value creation across diverse industries. Operational excellence in portfolio companies is essential for successful exits and long-term returns.
