Private equity
We understand in Private Equity, strong financial performance and value creation relies heavily on great leadership. But it’s not just about the right CEO, or the right CFO, although they’re critical. It’s about assessing the roles that drive value and ensuring you have the best people for them, doing what it takes to accelerate team performance, building optimal structures, processes and culture that aids growth and the firm to successfully achieve its goals.
Our team are the management due-diligence partners you need and dovetail with private equity firms to drive value and maximise ROI through our people and leadership services throughout the whole deal lifecycle. You can engage with us from exploration to exit – or at the stages you need additional value-creating support.

“Guy [Garnett at NSCG] came to know my business almost as well as I do, and I trusted his instincts completely. The assessment process went below the surface, identifying and exploring patterns of behaviour, strengths and potential derailers all supported by real life examples. The team provided a very useful sounding board during the search process, and I've ended up with two excellent members of my team.”
