The PE firm is wide awake. Only the committee is sleeping the sleep of the righteous—or the unrighteous, if you will. After all, they’ve known for a long time that the CEO has to go. His name no longer even appears in the investment thesis the buyer used to convince his investment committee.
No one is allowed to tell him that. Until the closing, the new owner isn't even officially allowed to get involved. And even after that, it often takes months before the search for a new CEO even begins.
On October 14, we'll discuss risks and options for action during this vulnerable phase in our PMI expert panel.
What to bring:
✅ Why a CEO change is often already decided before the contract is signed, but doesn't become official until months later
✅ What can be implemented based on the investment thesis even before the CEO change
✅ When an interim solution is more beneficial than waiting for the perfect candidate
