Henry, let's discuss portfolio ops leadership at Coalesce Capital
Across middle-market, human capital–driven and technology-enabled business services platforms, early-stage funds are prioritizing hands-on operating talent to convert investment theses into measurable portfolio gains. Smaller PE platforms building value-creation capabilities often move faster than they expect once they staff a dedicated operating function.

Conversations about compensation for portfolio leadership are already reshaping hiring windows for those roles.
If building out portfolio ops / value creation capabilties across your platform is on your radar, worth putting 20 minutes on the calendar to talk through what you’re seeing.
