𝗛𝗶, 𝗜'𝗺 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗮 𝗠𝗲𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗻𝗲𝗿 — 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿 & 𝗖𝗙𝗢 If you're responsible for driving performance across portfolio companies, you already know: in today’s market, financial engineering alone isn’t enough. That’s where I come in. I’m what I call a “𝗗𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿–𝗠𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗰”—someone who can steer a company forward with strategic clarity, or roll up my sleeves and fix what’s not working. Most businesses need both at different moments in the PE lifecycle. Over the past 25+ years, I’ve worked with industrial and manufacturing companies through growth, integration, and exit. I specialize in turning operational complexity into clear EBITDA expansion, stronger cash flow, and premium valuation outcomes—while keeping fund metrics front and center. 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗜 𝗔𝗱𝗱 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲 ✔️ Unlock EBITDA growth through pricing, margin, and cost discipline ✔️ Improve cash conversion and accelerate DPI through working capital focus ✔️ Drive 30–50% multiple expansion by de-risking and repositioning ✔️ Build operational transparency that strengthens buyer trust ✔️ Support IC narratives with performance clarity 𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗱-𝗟𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁 I don’t just improve operations—I help improve fund performance: 🔹 Flattening the J-curve with early traction 🔹 Driving TVPI through structured, compounding improvements 🔹 Accelerating DPI through cash focus and exit readiness 🔹 Uplifting IRR by 500–800bps over baseline expectations 𝗔 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗖𝗮𝘀𝗲: I partnered with a PE-owned industrial business to grow EBITDA from $12.5M to $22M over five years. We achieved a 50% multiple uplift, paid down $12.5M in debt, and exited at a $182M equity value—up from $50M—resulting in a 3.6x MoM and ~38% IRR. No shortcuts—just structured, fund-aligned execution. 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗜 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝗜𝗻 🟢 Post-acquisition → 100-day plans, traction, and RVPI support 🔵 Mid-hold → Margin gains, synergy capture, TVPI momentum 🔴 Exit readiness → Cash conversion, buyer confidence, DPI acceleration 𝗟𝗲𝘁'𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁 If you’re looking for operational support with fund-level impact—at any point in the lifecycle—I’d love to hear what you’re working on. 📩 [email protected] 📞 +41 76 805 7410 🌐 www.futureedgecfo.com “𝐼𝓃 𝒶 𝓂𝒶𝓇𝓀𝑒𝓉 𝓌𝒽𝑒𝓇𝑒 𝓋𝒶𝓁𝓊𝑒 𝒸𝓇𝑒𝒶𝓉𝒾𝑜𝓃 𝒾𝓈 𝑒𝓍𝓅𝑒𝒸𝓉𝑒𝒹, 𝐼 𝒽𝑒𝓁𝓅 𝓂𝓎 𝒸𝓁𝒾𝑒𝓃𝓉𝓈 𝑜𝓊𝓉𝓅𝑒𝓇𝒻𝑜𝓇𝓂—𝓆𝓊𝒾𝑒𝓉𝓁𝓎, 𝒸𝑜𝓃𝓈𝒾𝓈𝓉𝑒𝓃𝓉𝓁𝓎, 𝒶𝓃𝒹 𝓌𝒾𝓉𝒽 𝓂𝑒𝒶𝓈𝓊𝓇𝒶𝒷𝓁𝑒 𝓇𝑒𝓈𝓊𝓁𝓉𝓈.”
