To maximise portfolio value during exits, we place interim and permanent leaders who ensure seamless transitions and strategic alignment. Interim CEOs prepare businesses for sale or IPO, while permanent Chief Commercial Officers and Chief Strategy Officers lead initiatives to enhance value before exit.
