Support for Portfolio Teams

When Your Investments Need an Operational Multiplier

I work with portfolio managers to multiply your management teams’ strategic instinct and operational effectiveness by translating what they know needs to happen into plans they can actually execute.

Portfolio Operational Multiplier

When you know something’s not right in one of your investments, or when you want to ensure a new investment delivers on its thesis – that’s where I come in.

Your management teams have the capability and sector knowledge. What they need is someone who can accelerate their path from knowing to doing, whether that’s restoring momentum in an underperforming investment or ensuring a new investment builds the operational foundation to deliver your thesis.

Through structured work with your management teams, I help translate their insight into executable plans that deliver the performance your investment requires.

You maintain oversight and governance. Your teams maintain ownership and authority. I multiply their operational effectiveness.

You’re not deploying me because your teams can’t do it. You’re deploying me because what you’re building deserves maximum capability. I’m your operational multiplier.

When Portfolio Investments Need That Nudge

Underperforming investments where:

  • Performance is drifting despite sound fundamentals
  • Management teams are working hard but losing momentum
  • Board discussions need more operational depth

New investments where you want to:

  • Ensure management teams deliver on the investment thesis
  • Build operational foundations for value creation
  • Provide strategic support during critical early phases

Key Portfolio Scenarios

Underperforming Investment

Sound fundamentals but inconsistent performance. Management team needs operational multiplier to restore rhythm and deliver the returns your investment thesis requires.

New Investment Foundation Building

You've backed a business with strong potential. Deploy an operational multiplier to ensure management builds the execution capability to deliver your value creation plan.

Leadership Transition Support

Senior changes have created operational gaps. Deploy operational continuity while permanent arrangements are established, maintaining performance throughout transition.

Covenant Pressure Navigation

Financial pressures are consuming management bandwidth. Operational multiplier helps maintain business performance while managing stakeholder requirements.

Market Condition Adaptation

Shifting conditions require operational adaptation. Deploy support to help management maintain execution effectiveness while processing increased complexity.

Cash Runway Optimisation

Short runway requires immediate operational focus. Deploy an experienced operator to work with management on cash optimisation without damaging operational capability.

How I Multiply Portfolio Investment Effectiveness

Restore Performance Momentum – Work alongside management teams to identify what’s really holding back performance and create executable plans to get back on track, without disrupting team dynamics.

Accelerate Investment Thesis Delivery – Help new investment teams translate your value creation plan into operational reality, building the execution capability needed to deliver returns.

Enhance Board Effectiveness – Provide the operational depth and independent perspective that makes board discussions more productive and focused on what actually drives performance.

If the management team knows what needs to happen but needs that nudge to translate it into performance, let's talk.
