Bridging the Private Equity
Leadership gap
Private equity firms and their portfolio company leaders often see the world differently. According to AlixPartners’ 2024 leadership survey, PE investors blame poor CXO performance on lack of urgency, unfocused execution, and inflexibility. Portco leaders, however, cite investors’ lack of operational expertise, clashing work styles, and insufficient capital as the real issues.
This disconnect plays out daily in boardrooms, stalling growth and eroding value. No surprise then that 71% of Portco CEOs are replaced during a PE firm’s hold period (US National Bureau of Economic Research, 2023).
How coaching helps
Effective private equity CEO coaching bridges this gap, helping leaders align expectations, manage board dynamics, and drive performance in high-stakes environments.
Let’s talk about how coaching can help PE-backed CEOs succeed.
