Data-driven expertise to accelerate value creation
Protect investments with objective talent decisions at every step.
Objectively assessing the strengths and potential gaps of a portfolio company’s leadership team is key to evaluating the company’s ability to deliver on the Value Creation Plan (VCP) and the deal team’s investment thesis. We integrate data-based leadership decisions from due diligence to exit.
Accelerated Performance Group was founded in 2020 specifically to support private equity clients. Our team brings decades of experience working with investors, deal teams, and portfolio company management teams to accelerate their VCPs.
From due diligence to management team effectiveness, we can apply our full suite of services to identify, onboard, and deploy the leadership talent you need.
Accelerated Performance Group collaborates with everyone involved to manage leader transitions. For example, we can help identify leaders who’ll excel at achieving the VCP, source qualified internal and external candidates, minimize disruptions, and accelerate a successful transition.
