Presentation of the Sixth Annual Private Equity Leadership Survey

Ted Bililies

For six years now, AlixPartners has tracked developments in private equity leadership through the annual survey of leaders of PE firms and portfolio companies. Each year, the findings from this survey generate valuable insights on themes important to PE investment success and portco performance.

The latest survey sought to uncover insights on leading in times of disruption from the perspective of both PE firms and portfolio companies. With the pandemic, political strife, racial injustice, and extreme climate events escalating disruption to unheard-of degrees in 2020, investors and portco executives alike have had to rethink their business strategy as well as their day-to-day operations and virtually everything in between. Most observers agree that the impacts of the disruptions that struck during 2020 will persist well into the future. This year’s key themes will include:

  • PE firms’ and portco executives’ shifting expectations of one another during this unique year
  • Ways in which PE investment strategies may be shape-shifting
  • Implications for ESG initiatives currently underway within portfolio companies
  • New imperatives confronting portco leaders
  • Impacts on CXO turnover – specifically CFO turnover
