After a conference on PMI held by the National Association of Financial Controllers, GPMIP was asked by this mid-size French Private Equity (PE) to assist one of their portfolio companies to launch a post-deal integration program and a transformation program. Both projects were after several acquisitions and with the view of exiting this investment with improved performance.

• With one-team member, a first assessment of the transformation needs was delivered to the portfolio EXCO, and it was agreed to conduct a general transformation program
• The program included organization redesign – the creation of 2 major BU’s, clarification of functions, HR plan, and recruitment of new profiles
• Industries & Finance later sold this investment with a positive return
• Several months after, GPMIP assisted the PE to re-design its own middle and back-office functions to deal with its future growth in terms of size, number of funds under management, and numbers of portfolio companies. The work done was quantified, with detailed time-based simulations, which enabled the PE firm to grow with a well-established set-up
