Context
As demand intensifies across the U.S. private equity market, strategy firms face growing pressure to deliver more than just insight - they’re expected to drive value from diligence through to execution. One firm, recognised for its strength in strategic advisory, set out to bolster its private capital practice with a hire capable of leading high-impact workstreams across portfolio optimisation, operational turnaround and the scaling of growth-stage assets.
Challenge
The firm needed a senior individual with proven experience in PE-backed environments, strong M&A credentials, and a network embedded in the private equity ecosystem. The right person would combine strategic thinking with a track record of operational delivery in fast-paced, high-stakes settings.
Solution
Consulting Point introduced a candidate who brought both top-tier consulting pedigree and direct experience in private equity operations. At the time, they were operating within a leading strategy house, where they had delivered on due diligence, end-to-end M&A, transformation programmes and portfolio improvement, much of it focused on technology-led assets. They had also worked closely on fundraising and strategic growth planning.
Result
The candidate brought immediate credibility, easing pressure on senior leaders and enabling the team to respond more decisively to deal opportunities. Their blend of operational rigour and private equity insight proved critical in driving transaction support and unlocking value across PE-owned businesses, raising the standard, not just meeting it.
