Private Equity Practice

Increasingly complex markets have made the private equity sector harder to predict, naturally opening the door to artificial intelligence (AI) solutions and further technological advancements. This overwhelming transformation has radically and inevitably changed what it means to be a leader in the investment sphere.

Similarly, the profile of today’s senior leader demands a blend of empathy, emotional intelligence, and a forward-thinking approach to change management; leaders who embrace diversity across generations and foster an inclusive and collaborative environment for Generation X to Generation Z and beyond.

Now, executives with proven digital literacy and an understanding of environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues can help blossoming companies find their niche and revitalise longstanding private equity businesses. As these specialist skills have grown in demand, so too has the need for empathetic leaders who can retain and motivate top talent in a turbulent market.

Against this backdrop, the team at Page Executive has been working with private equity funds and portfolio companies to find leaders with the intelligence and experience to adapt to a fast-moving industry. Our stellar track record includes agile C-suite officers and Director Level Executives for their portfolio firms across a diverse industry but as well Investment Managers/Directors and Partner-Level for the Private Equity Funds or Family Offices. All hand-selected from our long-term engaged Partners according to the specifications and needs of our clients. These successful executive search projects have helped lead and close successfully transactions and add-on acquisitions. We support steadying the ship through interim management and introducing successful ESG and social impact initiatives.
 

With over 15 years of experience, our partners and principals specialise in a blend of niche and expert talent needs, allowing us to fill less traditional executive assignments. Cognizant of how cross-sector synergies can open up new opportunities, we help sales, finance, operations, technology and executive directors transition from large to small-cap organisations to make an impact in private equity.
