“Certified” means the Operating Partner has successfully completed the CAPOP certification from the Operating Partners Academy, including a demonstrated track record and the necessary experience for this function.

  • Structuring or integration post-acquisition or divestiture
  • Hyper-growth acceleration
  • Restructuring or turnaround (business recovery)
  • Business transmission (succession planning/transfer)
  • Preparation for an LBO (Leveraged Buyout) or a fundraising round
  • Strategic repositioning (Pivot) or build-up
