Driving Value Creation in Private Equity Portfolios: The Path to Sustainable Revenue Growth
London, UK
Unlocking real value in Private Equity portfolios requires more than just ambitious plans—it demands flawless execution and a relentless focus on operational performance. Join this exclusive event to explore the strategies and frameworks that drive sustainable revenue growth and discover what it truly takes to turn value creation plans into measurable results in today’s evolving market.
Date: September 18, 2025
Time: 4:00 PM – 7:30 PM
Location: Brown’s Hotel, Albemarle Street, London W1S 4BP
In today’s challenging market, operational value creation is no longer a “nice to have” for Private Equity firms—it’s the most important lever for returns. With deal volume down and exit timelines lengthening, extracting more value from existing assets has become a necessity.
Yet, execution remains the biggest barrier. Research from EY shows that while 9 in 10 PE firms have formal value creation plans, fewer than 30% of portfolio company CEOs believe those plans are well-implemented.
Join our exclusive event where we bring together industry leaders, including Carrie Osman, CEO and Founder of Cruxy, to explore what it really takes to turn value creation plans into real, measurable results, and to deliver sustainable revenue growth in PE portfolios.
