PE Portfolio CXO Transformation across 6 Operating Companies

Following a $350M buyout of a regional healthcare network, a leading Private Equity fund partnered with Zenith HR Solutions to overhaul C-suite leadership across 6 portfolio operating companies.

We conducted talent diligence, benchmarked existing management against value creation goals, and recruited 8 key executives (CEOs, CFOs, CTOs) within 90 days.

Value Creation Impact

The newly assembled C-suite executed digital healthcare integration and expanded hospital footprints, unlocking a 3.4x fund return at exit.

“Leadership diligence is the highest-leverage diligence in private equity.”
