Private Equity

DHR International has made a strategic commitment to serving the unique needs of the private equity (PE) industry on a global basis and related funds that make direct investments employing various asset strategies. The practice typically focuses on board, C-level and executive level positions in portfolio companies, including investors with a mandate for early-stage, growth equity as well as buyout transactions. The practice has completed portfolio company assignments across a range of funds with different investment strategies, including private equity firms of various size and scope, family offices, credit/distressed funds, hedge funds, activist investors, sovereign funds, angel investors, venture capital firms, pension funds and other investors that pursue a direct principal investing strategy (control as well as minority positions and co-investment working with a range of funds). The practice is also active in search assignments focused on the internal investment and administrative hiring needs of its clients - associates, vice presidents, principals, operating partners, general partners, chief financial officers, compliance officers and so forth - working closely with colleagues in DHR's Financial Services Practice. This has included more classic asset/investment management positions overseeing alternative, private, direct and opportunistic investment strategies in a range of funds. The Private Equity Practice Group consists of professionals who have direct experience working with investors in a wide range of traditional and emerging industries and businesses. Consultants within the practice are well-versed in the unique needs of everything from early stage venture-funded Internet companies to management buyouts in more traditional manufacturing companies; they also have experience in direct and opportunistic investing in various fund environments (PE firms, family offices, corporate, pension, etc.). Our team members come from industry operating positions, financial services platforms, related consulting and professional service organizations across industry sectors, as well as leading retained executive search firms.
