Interim GM for Italian portfolio companies.

Post-closing stabilization, VCP execution and CEO handover for mid-market portfolio companies in Italy.

Risposta diretta

Why place an interim GM in an Italian portfolio company?

Because in the Italian mid-market the founder or family CEO often exits at closing, and the permanent CEO search takes six to nine months. During that window value is either created or destroyed. An interim GM keeps the first line aligned, executes the first tranche of the value creation plan and hands over a stable company to the incoming permanent leader.

Model

In the company, not next to the fund.

Reporting into the operating partner and the board. Weekly business review on-site, monthly with the fund. Full ownership of the operational P&L. No consulting deliverables, no slide decks: decisions, cadence, results.

Frequent questions

Do you work with international PE funds?

Yes. Direct experience with Italian mid-market funds and international funds operating in Italy. Reporting in English to investment teams and operating partners is standard.

At which stage of the deal do you engage?

Most engagements start at closing minus two to plus six months. Pre-closing for readiness assessments, at closing to stabilize direction, first six months to hold the company while the permanent CEO is recruited.

Buy and build strategies?

Yes. Interim GM inside the platform company during the first three to five bolt-on acquisitions, before a permanent group CEO structure is put in place.
