Topic: Leadership Assessment (Session 1 of Panel and Roundtable Discussions)
What do investors want and what do executives need to succeed in Private Equity portfolio company leadership roles?

With many companies “going private” and private equity funds growing dramatically, portfolio companies are becoming a natural employer target for ambitious corporate executives. As public company executives become a larger part of the potential talent pool, what should private equity investors be looking for?

As the executive leadership skills and capabilities that create success in a public company readily transferable into the world of private equity? Which skills and capabilities might enhance the quality of portfolio company talent and what gaps threaten success? How does the stage in the investment cycle and the choice of exit strategy affect the decision to develop or replace leadership talent?
