If we ask our PE clients what they find most useful in using the Talmix marketplace for their on-demand talent, speed is nearly always the first answer. Roberto tells us more about why PE firms want things to happen fast, and how he can deliver that speed to transform finance functions.
Bringing a solid experience as Finance executive in public international companies, and as CFO, COO, M&A in a successful turnaround for a PE backed business, I offer my support as an independent professional or serving on an interim basis.
With a “hands-on” and decisive management style, partnering with the business, I have a proven track record converting plans into actions and delivering goals, reducing the complexity of the business, adopting best practices, improving the efficiency, and streamlining processes.
When I face a new challenge, I feel as a rock climber in front of an undiscovered mountain while he’s trying to quickly find the path and to figure out timing, effort, and the right equipment to reach the top.
If I should find a word to describe the approach of PE firms, I would use "QUICK". Quick in planning …. in the execution … in catching business’ opportunities. An independent professional is a perfect match, offering specific skills and adapting quickly to the specific project requirements.
My last assignment was as interim CFO in a recent acquisition by a US Private Equity firm. In the first 12 months, I led the transition plan from a business run by private entrepreneurs to a business run by a team of managers and part of PE portfolio. I reviewed governance rules, I assessed the organization and the internal controls’ structure, I set up proper management system, I led an improvement plan delivering +50% EBITDA increase in the first year.
Some of my other achievements in PE-backed business are:
