PE funds have a shortlist of ex-CEOs they trust. What they're missing is a deep bench of specialist operators — on-demand CXOs who know the difference between knowing an industry, and building, scaling, and managing businesses within it. Finding a former C-Level with real growth execution — not a consultant rebranded as an operator — takes time. Or it takes a platform that's already done the work. We've built and validated exactly that bench — 80+ operating partners across Spain and Europe, classified by career trajectory, sector depth, and functional expertise. Here's what the Growth segment looks like: 📊 93% — international track record (>50% 5+ countries) 📊 82% — consulting background (Big4, MBB, Tech/Ops, boutiques) 📊 10 yrs — avg C-Level tenure Sector coverage across 9 clusters: Services 71% · Tech & Software 66% · Retail/Consumer 59% · Industry 39% · Healthcare 39% · Infrastructure 36% · AgriTech 36% · Hospitality 27% · Financial Services 21% If you're a PE/VC fund looking to deploy a growth specialist operator into a portfolio company — or thinking about it — this is your pool. The full breakdown is in our June newsletter. #OperatingPartners #Platform #PrivateEquity #ValueCreation #GrowthOperators #LeoMagno
