We partner with private equity investors to introduce them to exciting opportunities, and map, access and evaluate deals.
At DRAX, we’re known across Europe as the executive search partner of choice for private equity-backed organisations.
We conduct hundreds of Board and C-level searches every year to secure the leaders best able to create value for our private equity clients.
As a result, we’re regularly introduced to incredible investment opportunities. If a high-quality team is looking for an MBI or MBO, we’re often the first to know. We work with the executives, founders, and management teams that we’ve built such excellent relationships with, to shape these opportunities and to connect with the right investors to partner with.
We bring our talent in executive search, using the same three-point model that works across the breadth of our business, to directly partner with investors and proactively identify, access and evaluate target businesses for them to invest into:
Identification
Just as we would conduct a search against a stringent set of criteria to identify appropriate candidates, our expert insight and wide network enables us to identify a set of companies matching investor requirements
Access
We use our network and the credibility we’ve built up over years of providing a high-quality service to engage with Chairs and CEOs. They trust us and our judgement, so when we have an investment opportunity, they’re willing to have an open conversation.
Evaluation
Our proprietary tools set us apart, giving us the unique ability to assess and evaluate behaviours and skills to determine whether a management team is the right one to partner with to fulfill a value creation plan, drive competitive advantage and reach peak performance.
