Despite an unprecedented health crisis, ever-changing economic conditions, and social upheaval, private equity firms have remained resilient and adaptable. Now more than ever, qualified leaders are needed to confront challenges, design actionable strategies, and capitalize on emerging trends and opportunities.
At Buffkin / Baker, we understand the nuances of institutionally backed companies and the demands on their executive leadership. Our clients are an investment, and we take an active approach to customize a plan needed to fit the unique circumstances of private equity firms. Our process consistently identifies the right talent and is optimized to eliminate the human capital concerns of private equity firms.
Our primary emphasis is portfolio companies with a focus on healthcare, SaaS, tech-enabled services, marketing/media platforms, and business services. Although we work with all roles within the C-suite, we have expertise in the Chief Financial Officer function across a variety of industries.
