#Europe including #UK has been falling in economic rankings since Brexit with increasingly worse and challenging job-market as a consequence. Despite that, the capital markets ecosystem in the city of #London continues to survive and even thrive due to its global nature. In fact, there is still no geographical alternative as-connected-as London to cover global portfolio assets spread across both East and West. You still can’t run a pan-European or global #privateequity fund without operations in London. In our experience, UK remains the most mature market globally for interim talent in-terms of both capacity and capability. Europeans with truly global experiences and ability to apply their expertise to the new context will continue to thrive in our eternal optimist view. Naresh Kumar experienced that first-hand in the last nine years supporting institutional investors and their companies operating in the mainland #Europe, the #US, #UAE and #India.

Pleasure to catch up with old friends and make new connections at Private Equity International event! Enjoyed attending the CEO panel and the following are key takeaways: 1. Even motivated individuals need RIGHT set-up, incentives and culture to play their best game. To build a balanced squad, the Board must ensure complementary skills (both hard and soft) among team members. 2. CEOs and Operating Partners(OP) come in various flavors and specific strengths/challenges for each type. To realize value creation plan, OP should both challenge and support portfolio company management. Hence mutual fit, adaptability, and pragmatism are key to successful partnership. 3. In-house value creation function is required to articulate their "value to the fund" and each OP needs to demonstrate his/her individual impact nowadays. Hence, self-awareness is a must-have regarding “how big is BIG and how small is SMALL” to pick/deliver the right portfolio cases on ROI basis.. https://lnkd.in/euPdWuKc
