The Evolving Role of HR in Private Equity

Hunt Scanlon Media’sThe Evolving Role of HR in Private Equity

March 24th - 12:30pm ET

Securing the right leadership for portfolio companies is a complex process. In the most successful circumstances, it often fuses the needs of a ‘commercial’ operating partner and a human capital professional. Getting that collaboration to work effectively can make all the difference between a company that grows and outperforms vs one that falls short and fails. And it all happens within the domain of HR and talent management.

To learn more, join JM Search for an interactive webinar supported by Hunt Scanlon Media on March 24th. Search consultants and former HR leaders Louis Montgomery Jr. and Phil Menzel, along with a panel of PE talent management experts, will share their unique insights on how the role of HR continues to evolve within private equity. This a great opportunity to hear first-hand experiences and perspectives from key leaders across the sector.

Topics to be discussed include:

The accelerating need for key HR leadership in private equity
The differences and the competencies required for heads of HR in PE vs corporate America
The career value proposition when moving from a corporate role to one in private equity
