Context
A leading US strategy consultancy was looking to strengthen its Private Equity advisory offering. The focus was on building depth in commercial due diligence and value creation, with senior capability that could operate confidently with fund partners and portfolio company leadership.
Challenge
The firm needed a senior hire with strong buy side and sell side experience, able to lead complex CDD work and help scale delivery across industrials, infrastructure and sustainability related themes. Credibility with investors was critical, as was the ability to contribute to long term practice growth.
Solution
Consulting Point introduced a senior executive with MBB training and a rare blend of strategy consulting, investing and operator experience. With close to 20 years in the market, including senior responsibility within a global private equity strategy practice, the individual brought immediate delivery capability and long term leadership potential. Experience in principal investing and board level roles added clear investor credibility beyond a traditional consulting profile.
Outcome
The appointment strengthened the firm’s US Private Equity platform and supported faster execution of its growth plans. The hire helped deepen relationships with priority sponsors, deliver investor level insight on live transactions and increase capacity to lead and win larger CDD engagements. It placed a commercially credible leader into a strategically important practice, aligned closely to the firm’s direction.
