Roundtable: Pulling the right value creation levers | Real Deals

Sullivan Street Partners’ Richard Sanders joined the Real Deals editorial team and industry peers for the publication’s August Value Creation roundtable at Fortnum & Mason.

Richard discussed the strategies that private equity firms can use to grow and strengthen their portfolio companies alongside Steve Butterworth from Neighbourly, Confidas People’s Bruce Douglas, Marvin Fletcher Rogers from Sage, William Gresty from BGF, WestBridge’s James MacLeay, Valerie Monk from Montagu, and GRAPH Strategy’s James Tetherton.

They covered a wide range of topics, including how to navigate organic growth, the fresh perspective private equity investors can bring to businesses, and ESG as an essential avenue for value creation. Richard provided insight into how Sullivan Street retains top talent, methods for assessing a company’s purpose and culture whilst conducting financial due diligence, and how the firm remains authentic in its investments.

We have a unique experience transforming businesses in the face of complexity and creating value sustainably whilst ensuring meaningful change and strong returns. Thank you to all of the participants and to Real Deals for inviting us to partake in such a pertinent conversation.
