What Public Companies and Private Equity Can Learn from Each Other
The factors contributing to a CEO’s success can differ significantly between private equity-owned companies and publicly traded companies. CEOs who have led in both public and PE-backed environments say in a new report that private equity is more focused on fast value creation and a successful exit, which often stands in sharp contrast to public companies, where navigating board dynamics, public shareholders and quarterly guidance is often seen as key to success when managing perception over longer durations.
“Jon’s unwavering tenacity and dedication to both candidates and clients have been key to the growth of RMG’s CFO practice,” said Mr. LaPolice. “In a dynamic and ever-changing market for financial officers, Jon’s ability to successfully manage complex search projects and consistently deliver exceptional results is truly impressive.”
