How do you quantify leadership and performance with precision? It can feel complex, unpredictable and undiscoverable; it is thus often the last critical unknown in diligence. As such, it’s a highly underleveraged asset. YSC’s Global Private Equity practice brings a rigorous science to leadership—transforming it into a variable to measure, anticipate and optimize.
Yet the rigor cannot and should not come at the expense of relationship. To really know leadership is to partner in a developmental, collaborative and meaningful way that adds to—rather than detracts from—the relationship capital.
Our work in PE connects to strategy from the first. We start pre-deal to reverse engineer the capabilities, interactions and shared culture to create a blueprint of the leadership required at various stages of the business, and ensure the right leadership is positioned to deliver results worthy of the investment.
We are the leadership strategists of choice for our investor clients including:
- Top-tier, upper market PE firms with whom we partner across portfolio, from pre-exclusivity to pre-close to post-deal to exit
- Firms focusing on mid-market, deploying us in a more surgical, targeted way
- Investors focused on early-stage high-growth, high-risk assets
- LPs looking to shrewdly select the PE firms that consistently deliver responsible value.
