Enbaling Private Equity to Drive Growth, Protect Value, and Maximise Returns

From diligence to exit, we help PE-backed life sciences companies execute with the right people in place

Turning talent strategy into value creation for PE-backed life sciences companies

Private equity plays a pivotal role in scaling life sciences businesses from solid to standout. You bring capital, focus, and commercial discipline, but ultimately, your portfolio companies live or die by how well they execute. And execution depends on people.

We partner with PE firms and their operating leaders to align talent strategy with the value creation plan. That might mean reshaping a leadership team post-acquisition, building out a global supply chain function, or solving for high-risk, high-skill gaps in areas like regulatory, quality, or market access.

You already know the talent market is tight. But in life sciences, it's not just tight, it's fragmented, highly specialised, and often opaque. Whether you're backing a CRO, scaling a CDMO, rolling up specialty medtech assets, or investing in digital infrastructure, having the right team in place early can accelerate growth, de-risk delivery, and even drive premium valuation at exit.

According to EY, 58% of underperforming PE portfolio companies cite “leadership misalignment or gaps” as a key reason for missed targets. On the flip side, top-performing PE firms consistently invest early in leadership and technical capability as a value lever.

Our work often starts pre-deal: supporting due diligence with real-world talent insight, identifying red flags in team capability, or benchmarking leadership strength against similar businesses. Post-deal, we move fast, helping professionalise organisations, reduce single points of failure, and build functions that support global scale, regulatory readiness, and operational resilience.

We're here to help you hit your growth plan, by making sure the people behind it are equipped to deliver.
