I help boards and executive teams in PE-backed and investor-owned companies turn leadership capacity into something that is tracked, developed, and visible in performance.
Every value creation plan has a line about leadership. It is usually the least developed part of the plan, because you cannot put a more resilient management team on a 100-day dashboard the way you can put EBITDA.
So it waits. And by the time a leadership gap becomes visible, it has usually cost a quarter or two of execution speed.
Leadership capacity can be measured, developed, and followed over time. It just needs the right instruments and a shared language between the fund and the company.
From assessment to behavior change
Hogan assessments show how a leader’s reputation, core values, and blind spots shape the way they are experienced, especially under pressure.
The Leadership Circle Profile and the Leadership System turn those insights into specific, observable leadership behaviors, measured through 360-degree feedback and developed over time.
Built for the people who own the plan and the people who execute it
A leadership view of your portfolio companies that goes beyond gut feeling. A shared language between the fund and management, and a structured way to develop the leaders your plan depends on.
Honest, data-based feedback on how you lead, and a concrete development path that fits the pace of an ownership cycle. No generic programmes.

25+ years in leadership development, the last several mostly inside PE-owned companies, where the timeline is compressed and development work has to show up in performance.
If your plan depends on leadership,
let’s talk
A first conversation costs nothing and usually clarifies where leadership is helping or holding back your plan.
