Case Study: Private Equity Company fills a critical CFO role with Pearson Partners International

Private Equity Company - Customer Case Study

A Private Equity Company needed to quickly replace a retiring portfolio CFO at a small, middle-market manufacturing business with limited resources. The role was especially challenging because it required strong technical finance skills, the ability to build dashboards and metrics, and broader leadership experience across multiunit, dispersed operations. The company engaged Pearson Partners International to manage the executive search.

Pearson Partners International worked closely with leaders at both the private equity firm and portfolio company to understand the business, culture, and role requirements, then pre-screened and narrowed the candidate pool to a few highly qualified finalists. The result was a fast and efficient search that closed in less than 90 days, placing a CFO who was local, did not require relocation, and brought more experience than expected for the role.
