Private Equity

We collaborate with Private Equity firms to accelerate value creation and growth. We support companies to achieve their full potential by delivering operational excellence and changing the way people come together to perform, thereby delivering results previously thought impossible.

Fast results generated across your entire asset portfolio

We help you generate greater value across your portfolio by helping Investors and Private Equity operations transform your asset’s operational and financial results, and make them “fit for exit”.

We have been achieving P&L results by working closely with management teams for more than seven decades, supporting investors and their asset and portfolio management teams to manage their businesses more effectively, and achieve their financial and operational objectives.

What if you could...

  • realize the full potential of your investment by delivering operational results at speed and scale in the short term, AND create an agile, change-capable business to harness the power of your portfolio for the long term?
  • assess your portfolio assets, determine the areas of improvement and associated business case, and develop the roadmap to realize results all in 3 weeks? Then realize that business case within weeks or months.

...with Proudfoot you can!
