The landscape has evolved

So too must successful investors

Capital is more expensive

Deals are more costly and hurdle rates are more challenging.

Competition is stiffer

More dry powder, more firms, less deals. Fundraising and closing is tougher.

Hold periods are longer

Value creation plans need to evolve to reflect new challenges

New Age of Private Equity Value Creation

Gone are the days when financial engineering alone could drive returns. Today's successful PE firms recognise that sustainable value creation lies in operational improvements and, crucially, in optimising human capital.

At GIBUS Consulting, we're focused on this paradigm shift. We understand that your portfolio companies' most valuable asset is their people. So we've created The People Growth Engine methodology - designed to help investors like you pull the talent lever to unlock previously untapped value.

ABOUT GIBUS CONSULTING

Strategy means nothing without the right people to execute

We support investors like you who understand the game has changed. It's no longer just about capital allocation. Talent allocation is equally important.

We're helping facilitate the transition to a people first value creation model. Where the businesses you invest in have the right people, in the right roles, operating at their peak.

Investors of old failed to put the same level of intentionality towards leadership, talent & culture as they did capital strategy and M&A.

They didn't need to.

But in todays market with the various headwinds, neglecting it can lead to wasted time, stagnated growth and muted returns.

Nobody wants that!

We're on a mission to help forward thinking investors win BIG, by pulling the underutilised lever of leadership and talent.

What Our Clients Are Saying

"We have had the pleasure of working with Garvey Seaton for a few years now, initially to facilitate what was very engaging and though provoking unconscious bias training for our staff, and then most recently, engaging him as a consultant to our DE&I Committee, helping us to design a roadmap and action plan for the next stage of our DE&I development. He is very knowledgeable and passionate and he added important insight to our discussions, while helping us to focus our thinking and drive us to actionable conclusions in a relatively short space of time. I would highly recommend Garvey to anyone, regardless of whether they are just starting out on a DE&I journey, or they’ve been at it for some time - he brings a collaborative approach, a fresh perspective and tangible ideas to help a firm evolve in this space. We all left our session with him really inspired!"
