Ariel, let's talk about who's running your portfolio ops

Mid-sized technology and technology-enabled services that sell into government, aerospace and defense are being asked to turn regulatory work and contract capture into repeatable revenue while meeting tightened compliance timelines. That combination — contract-driven growth plus technical compliance — is shaping board-level priorities across PE portfolios.

​

That pressure is producing a short market for Operating Partners and Heads of Portfolio Operations who have run capture/compliance programs inside PE-backed companies, and for VP/SVP Value Creation and Heads of Talent who can hire engineering, finance and cleared-market leaders quickly. With compensation for senior portfolio operators and talent heads rising, speed and credibility in outreach matters as much as fit.

​

If securing an Operating Partner or Head of Portfolio Ops with proven regulated-market execution is on your radar, I’m happy to carve out 20 minutes to talk through how you’re approaching those hires.
