Private Equity
People-side execution that protects the thesis.
We work alongside sponsors, deal teams, and portfolio company leadership to bring discipline to the human capital side of the value creation plan — from diligence through exit.
Where We're Brought In
The pressure points we typically see.
Diligence Blind Spots
Workforce, comp, payroll, classification, and benefits exposure that can erode deal value if missed pre-close.
Day 1 Risk
Payroll cutovers, communications, and policy alignment that have to be flawless on a fixed date.
Operator Bandwidth
Portfolio CEOs and CFOs without a senior HR partner to drive the people side of the plan.
Reporting to the Sponsor
Workforce metrics, governance, and board-ready visibility into the people function.
How We Engage
What the work looks like in practice.
HR Due Diligence
Targeted review of workforce, comp, payroll, benefits, classification, and compliance exposure.
Day 1 / Day 100 Plans
Sequenced playbooks for systems, payroll, leadership alignment, and policy harmonization.
Embedded HR Leadership
Fractional CHRO/HR Director coverage across the hold period without a full executive build.
Value Creation Initiatives
Org design, leveling, incentive design, and talent upgrades tied to the operating plan.
