At RefineValue, we believe that selecting the right leaders and top performers is a critical factor for value creation. With our extensive industry knowledge, our consultants support private equity firms, venture capital firms, and family offices in attracting leaders for their own investment teams and throughout the deal lifecycle of their portfolio companies.
The private equity sector has matured considerably in recent years and now enjoys a high level of acceptance. Private equity investors have taken their content and leadership to a new level and have become firmly established. However, the current turbulence in the markets has affected the industry and is raising fundamental problems, some of which are more profound. Depreciations on portfolio companies, low levels of new investment and difficult exit routes characterize the current business. Many PE companies are therefore increasingly focusing on the management of portfolio companies and are forced to make financial, operational, and personnel changes quickly and at short notice to maintain value. However, the long-term outlook remains intact and the lower price level for new investments could be an excellent opportunity for a new decade of successful investments.
We have focused primarily on recruiting senior level positions (managing director and director). We believe that successful hiring starts with the approach, so we know who to approach and in what manner. We have the critical ability to meet executives on an equal footing and make the difference between success and failure to the highest degree. Our team consists of experienced consultants who are familiar with the specific requirements of the industry, have gained relevant experience themselves, and built up an excellent network over the past few years. In addition, we have been able to make a name for ourselves in staffing with female candidates at the levels of managing director and director.
