About the team

Our global Private Equity team is a core part of our business. We have been partnering with leading funds of all sizes across the globe for the past 15 years, assisting them with hiring strategic, transformation and M&A talent into their own teams (both investment and operations) and the management teams of their portfolio companies.

Our Private Equity team in the US is one of the fastest growing areas of our business with a record breaking performance in 2022.
