While there is no one-size-fits-all approach to value creation, automating data, ensuring ongoing collaboration among teams, and leaning into new PE technology are seen as keys as to effective measurement and tracking.

These were among the prevailing opinions and insights shared last week by veteran PE operating partners Casey Myers of Edison Partners, Dave Richards of Strategic Value Partners, Steven Siwinski of Accel-KKR, and Dave Venker of HCI Equity Partners during the Maestro-moderated panel on value creation tracking at Private Equity Internationals’ Operating Partners Forum.

Check out our latest article for a more fulsome recap of the panel discussion:

Beyond traditional marketing tactics, portfolio company marketing leaders are assuming greater responsibility for building pipeline, managing sales and business development teams, and meeting the growth objectives set forth in the value creation plan.

We spoke with marketers from 3 companies to understand their respective levels of visibility into the VC plan, frequency of engagement with their sponsor, and to gauge their general thoughts on the benefits of being a marketer today in a PE-backed environment.

Private equity sponsors often are slow to use Year 1 of a new investment to immediately begin driving robust growth and value.

In today’s challenging dealmaking environment, getting an immediate jump on value creation once a new investment is closed is critical for accelerating growth and ultimately reaching investment milestones.

Accordion’s Christopher Stipe and Maestro’s Prasanth Ramanand explain how shortening the Year 1 “honeymoon period” by creating and executing a formalized value creation plan at the earliest possible moment can help sponsors realize investment goals and ultimately deliver enhanced returns.

If you’re interested in learning how to create and execute value creation plans that accelerate measurable growth, don’t miss our panel session on Wednesday, October 18th at 2 PM. Maestro’s Amy Newlan will be joined by Casey Myers of Edison Partners, Dave Richards of Strategic Value Partners, Steven Siwinski of Accel-KKR, and Dave Venker of HCI Equity Partners for a lively and informative discussion focused on helping attendees elevate value creation effectiveness, capture results, and demonstrate impact to all stakeholders.

We look forward to seeing you in NYC!

Excited to see Maestro's own Prasanth Ramanand on the big stage at Bregal Sagemount's Big Exit Conference along with experts Jeff Goltara and Don Agee of Accordion as they discuss board level reporting, systems, templates & best practices for the C-Suite.
