Thrive Resources

Firm Overview

At Thrive Resources, our mission is to drive measurable value through building high-performance individuals and teams. We help Private Equity firms find the right leaders and we provide leaders with the tools and support they need to thrive in the middle market PE environment. The Thrive Advantage: Reduced Risk, Enhanced Retention Thrive Resources delivers an exceptional 100% retention rate for C-suite executives and their direct reports through the private equity hold period. This is significantly higher than the industry average of 50-70%, where mis-hiring or executive turnover can cost firms 150-300% of the executive’s salary. With tailored support to enhance performance and retention, your team will deliver outstanding results and maximize impact at exit.
