We are supporting a leading private equity investor in its search for a senior interim professional to lead the execution of a separation within one of its digital consumer portfolio companies.
The business is already largely standalone, with selected G&A functions still centralised. The separation plan has been developed and execution is underway. We are therefore looking for someone who has led this type of carve-out or separation before in a PE-backed environment and can step in immediately to drive execution.
The engagement is expected to run until December, initially around three days per week, increasing to approximately full-time during the final execution phase.
