For Private Equity & Venture Capital Operating Partners
Proven inside live PE-led M&A and integration work, ready to deploy across portfolio companies — the same way many firms already use a portfolio CFO.
Proven, Not Aspirational
Direct PE-as-buyer precedent: at PRISM Vision Group, vetted and hired directly by Quad-C Management as CIO — the exact portfolio-deployment pattern this practice is built around.
Live PE-led integration experience: as Interim CIO at Summit Health, led through its merger with CityMD, a deal led by Warburg Pincus — direct experience inside a major PE-led healthcare consolidation, not just steady-state operations.
Sustained PE-backed fluency: current consulting engagements include PE-backed healthcare and life sciences platforms, described by sector and outcome to respect client confidentiality — demonstrating ongoing comfort with PE-backed governance, reporting cadence, and value-creation pressure.
Why Speed Matters
In a deal or integration timeline, the most valuable thing a technology or security executive can offer is fast, accurate diagnosis — not a slow audit. That's the core capability this practice is built around, on the technology side and the security side alike.
Thinking About Capacity
Engagements run roughly two to three days a week per company — the unit to think in when considering deployment across more than one portfolio company at a time. Beyond three days a week, an organization typically needs a full-time hire rather than fractional support.
How Engagements Begin
A focused capability or security assessment identifies what's actually wrong, informing a clear roadmap or program before ongoing execution begins — useful when diligence or integration timing calls for a defined deliverable.
For situations that call for moving immediately. Work begins directly on current priorities, and an accurate picture of the organization builds through the work itself.
