| Instead of focusing on a “company” as an opportunity, we will often start with a “world class CEO and team”, develop an investment strategy around them, and then find and acquire companies for them to run.
Industrial Renaissance partners with highly accomplished CEOs and management teams to execute acquisition strategies to form dominant companies.
CEO characteristics we look for are:
-
History of strong performance in P&L and Balance Sheet management
- Repeated record of significant achievements and making budget
-
Strategic thinker
-
Industry and competitive knowledge
-
Vision for industry development
-
Team builder
-
Appropriate risk profile
-
Hungry
- Compatible personality
We will work with the CEO to develop, validate and document an investment strategy; conduct thorough research to identify attractive industries and industry sub sectors; and find and pursue acquisition targets to develop deal flow, ideally on a proprietary and non-auction basis.
IR offers highly accomplished CEOs all the services needed to build significant enterprises through acquisitions on a turnkey basis.
Most “CEO-Backed” strategies are also “Buy-Build” strategies.
