Forbes: Private Equity Sponsors – Don’t Forget About Talent During Carve-Outs
Carve-out deals have become a key focus in the private equity market, representing 11.8% of US PE buyouts in Q4 2024—the highest share since 2016 and above the 10-year average. As larger companies shed non-core assets to refocus, PE firms capitalize on these opportunities to streamline operations and boost valuations. However, these deals bring substantial challenges, particularly in talent and organizational capabilities.
Our experience indicates that misjudging talent can derail even the most promising carve-outs. Retaining key personnel, establishing a new culture, and accurately assessing leadership capabilities are vital for success.
