Our team has been involved in hundreds of PE diligence processes. We combine a rigorous data-driven evaluation with experience-driven assessments that go beyond the obvious and beyond the benchmarks when we assess the current state of growth strategies, tactics, talent, and outcomes to identify hidden risks and opportunities that are often overlooked. Then we help define and forecast the near-term and mid-term optimization and impact at-scale across marketing, commercial, and product-growth levers.

We work closely with PE investment teams and portfolio company management teams to help develop and pressure test value creation plans that pave a path to meaningful enterprise value and ROIC, and then plug-in where needed to help execute the plan – motivating and inspiring the team, while driving accountability, sense of urgency, prioritizing for impact, and maximizing outcomes.

Talent is your most important asset when growing a digital and data-driven business. We are the only firm that specializes solely on exec search and recruiting of growth roles.​

As experienced operators, we help calibrate your needs with the right role descriptions, and provide evaluation rubrics and other tools to make your search effective.​

Our experience as operators also creates an unmatched level of credibility with passive candidates who would otherwise be unresponsive and unengaged with other firms.

While you are building your team and beyond, we help drive speed to impact by providing access to world class proven talent who have done this all before. As operators, we understand the impact of going months with open key roles, and we bridge this gap to ensure rapid and uninterrupted growth. We can also train the next generation of leaders and handoff key initiatives until we can eventually hand over the role to new leaders and executives.

Data and analytics maturity is a struggle for even many of the best digital companies. Often being data-rich translates into numerous dashboards and reports that don’t always yield actionable insights to drive the day-to-day optimization and iteration across key growth levers. This is partly due to inertia from building incrementally on top of an existing analytics framework, lack of alignment across the executive team, and partly due to the lack of analytics literacy and training across functions. In all cases analytics maturity is a key requisite for driving growth.

Every company should aspire to harness the accretive power of the evolving world of AI, driven by the transformative potential of LLMs. This technology will prove to be the largest paradigm shift in our careers, and forecasted to unlock trillions in new value creation and operational efficiencies.

It’s easy to get caught up in the shiny object nature of AI, but Growth & Co can help you take a practical approach to defining the most accretive use cases for each of your businesses.
