Operators on call for what you have backed.
Investors here back projects, developers and operating businesses across the resources chain. When a holding loses its finance lead or its project director, the investment team is the only cover.
Where the investment team feels the strain
The capital is committed. The people to put it to work are not always there:
A key seat empties at a bad moment
A project director or financial lead leaves mid-programme, and the board has to cover.
Holdings report in different ways
Each company sends its own pack on its own date, and the firm cannot see the whole.
Projects need a technical eye
Investment staff can read a model but not always a site, and a second view on cost and schedule helps.
The firm itself needs operating help
Reporting to investors, compliance and growth sit with partners who are busy deploying capital.
A fractional executive can take over in a holding at short notice, or in the firm. They cover the seat, bring the reporting up to standard and give you time to find a permanent leader.
Who this is for, and who it is not
Best for
- Adding operational value to investees without taking on management risk
- Giving founders a vetted operator you can refer with confidence
- Supporting several portfolio companies from one standing relationship
- Professionalising an investee while respecting its existing culture
- Staying in your governance role while the engagement is run for you
Not for
- Installing a controlling manager to run the company for you
- A single one-off introduction with no ongoing oversight
- Investors who want to direct day-to-day operations themselves
- A freelancer directory rather than a managed engagement
Operators behind your holdings
We fill the operating seats the investment team cannot, and keep governance consistent across every holding we support.
One rhythm across the holdings
Each engagement reports to the firm at set points, so a cost or schedule problem in one holding reaches you early.
Engineering and finance depth on call
Every executive can draw on our collective of 800+, which helps when a project question is part engineering and part money.
Seats held through process
We keep each holding's brief up to date, so a departure mid-programme starts a search from what we already know, with the handover run by us.
Matched to the asset
A developer, a contractor and a services business need different leaders, so each seat is matched to the business behind it.
The partnership model
One relationship. Portfolio-wide coverage.
Establish the standing relationship
We understand your investment thesis, your portfolio, and the types of leadership gaps most common across your investments.
You introduce us when needed
When a portfolio company needs operational leadership, you make the introduction. We handle everything else.
The right operator, fast
Discovery, matching, scoping, engagement management, and ongoing oversight, without you managing or coordinating it.
Visibility without burden
Lightweight reporting to you, not operational detail, but confidence that the engagement is performing. Investor-grade oversight without investor-level involvement.
Support by investor type
Different investors carry different portfolio needs. We match the operator to the need and manage the engagement, so it never lands back on you.
The operators we embed in your portfolio companies
Every operator is matched to the portfolio company's stage, sector and challenge.
