Transformation Support for Private Equity & Portfolio Companies

Senior, hands-on delivery when a transaction or value-creation plan creates complex Finance, Technology or operating-model change.

I work with Operating Partners, portfolio CFOs and management teams across pre-deal separation, Day 1 and carve-out, post-merger integration, Finance and Treasury transformation, programme recovery and operational stabilisation.

Discuss a Portfolio Transformation

When the deal thesis or value-creation plan needs to become an operating reality.

The work is most useful when the portfolio company needs senior ownership across functions, systems and delivery. I can lead the programme or take ownership of a critical Finance, Technology or operating-model workstream.

Where I Add Value

Before and around the deal

Pre-deal separation assessment, standalone requirements, Day 1 readiness, TSA dependencies, operating and technology dependencies, and separation planning.

Inside the portfolio

Finance and Treasury transformation, ERP/CRM change, lead-to-cash and Revenue Operations, target operating models and programme recovery.

After acquisition / through transition

Post-merger integration, platform rationalisation, migration and cutover, governance, adoption and stabilisation.

Typical Outcomes

  • A clearer path to Day 1 and standalone operation.
  • Faster decisions on what to separate, integrate, retain or retire.
  • Stronger ownership across Finance, Technology and Operations.
  • Transformation programmes that move from plan into delivery.
  • A controlled handover into stable business-as-usual operations.

Project and interim transformation leadership.

Assignments may be commissioned by a portfolio company, PE sponsor or advisory partner, depending on the mandate. I lead agreed transformation work personally and bring in trusted specialist associates where additional capacity is needed.

You get clear accountability and senior attention throughout.
