Private equity firms have long been faced with changed exit imperatives and needed to evolve their strategies. Rather than a quick exit through financial engineering, the dominant focus now lies with operational value creation and safeguarding assets for their investors through active intervention.
Operations or Value Enhancement advisor teams now form a crucial part of private equity funds' business models with the purpose of optimizing value creation through direct business improvement. As such, private equity firms have turned to experience on the ground advisors who can bring strategic and operational skill sets on-board to enhance asset attractiveness and build value.
