THE REALITY

The value-creation plan lives or dies on the people executing it.

A buyout resets everything at once — new owners, new KPIs, new pace. The human capacity to absorb that change is the most common reason plans slip, yet the least often addressed.

50–70%

50–70% of portfolio company CEOs are replaced during the hold period — value creation is ultimately a leadership story, and leadership is the biggest risk to it.

92%

92% of PE leaders say waiting too long to act on talent issues led to portfolio company underperformance.

12 is the new 5

deals now demand ~12% annual EBITDA growth to hit target returns, versus 5% a decade ago, putting an unprecedented premium on execution.
