Sourcing Independent Consultant for Private Equity-Backed Portfolio Company

Using the World’s Insight Network to Enrich Companies’ Expertise

Challenge

A private equity client acquired a portfolio company that manufactured modular buildings. They had not previously invested in this sector but, as part of their value creation plan, wanted to improve the company’s manufacturing process and ensure they were employing best practices.

They needed an experienced operational leader from the modular building sector who could perform multiple site visits, engage with the management team, observe working practices, and produce a report with recommendations for improvements and how to implement them.

The GLG Solution

Within five days, GLG provided the client with a list of top candidates — operational leaders from the sector — after screening them for experience, capability, capacity, and conflicts of interest.

The client conducted video call interviews with the experts and selected an expert who was a former director and current nonexecutive director within the modular construction space.

Compliance screening, legal work, and payments to the experts were managed by GLG.

Outcome

The client received a report based on the expert’s first-hand industry knowledge of the sector and their experiences of being on-site, observing working practices, and meeting with the portfolio company’s management team. This ensured the recommendations of the report were relevant and explicitly linked to the portfolio company. The expert also supported the implementation of recommendations.
