Private Equity and the Human Capital Challenge

Among the first and most important forms of value-add a private equity firm can bring to a portfolio company is talent at every level of the company. In a Privcap interview, James Dimitriou, National Practice Director for Private Equity at Tatum, shares insights into how private equity firms assess their human capital needs post-acquisition, define the roles that need to be added or upgraded, and sort through potential candidates. Dimitriou also discusses how to dislodge talented executives from their current positions and attract them to private equity-sponsored opportunities.
