talent Process

Integrating talent across the investment lifecycle

At every stage of private equity and venture capital investments, the right talent is essential to unlocking value.

Pre-Deal
Securing the right talent during the pre-deal phase is critical to identifying opportunities and managing risks.

We place M&A Directors, Valuation Experts, and Corporate Development Specialists to lead due diligence, assess risks, and shape acquisition strategies. Supporting them, Finance Directors, FP&A Managers, and Technology Specialists provide robust financial modeling, market analysis, and infrastructure evaluations to ensure sound investment decisions.
Post-Deal
The transition following an acquisition requires seamless alignment of operations, culture, and systems.

Orbit connects you with COOs, Integration Managers, and CFOs to stabilise operations and unify processes. Complementing these leaders, we provide Controllers, Tax Specialists, and HR Experts to align reporting structures, ensure compliance, and implement workforce strategies that foster integration and long-term value.
Buy & Build
Scaling operations and driving growth demand visionary leadership and functional expertise.

We place CEOs, CCOs, and Technology Leaders to drive market expansion, optimise operations, and deliver innovation. Supporting growth initiatives, Project Managers, Data Experts, and Budgeting Specialists ensure scalable solutions, operational efficiency, and financial stability across portfolio companies.
Turnaround
When portfolio companies face challenges, interim and specialised talent play a critical role in recovery efforts.

Orbit provides Interim CEOs, Restructuring Specialists, and Turnaround Managers to stabilize operations, restore cash flow, and guide strategic recovery. At the same time, Interim Financial Experts, Cybersecurity Specialists, and Transformation Consultants address immediate operational risks, enabling companies to regain momentum.
EXIT
Post-merger integration requires a blend of strategic leadership and functional expertise.

Orbit provides Integration Managers, CTOs, and CPOs to align systems, unify teams, and ensure cultural cohesion. Supporting these efforts, we place IT Specialists, Data Analysts, and Financial Controllers who harmonize platforms, optimize processes, and create operational synergy that drives long-term success.
