How much experience do you need to be a VP of Corp Dev at a LMM PortCO
Trying to figure out if I have enough experience to be a VP of Corp Dev at a LMM PortCo. I worked in a capital markets group in banking, then grinded to get a LMM PE role at a buyout shop where I closed a platform and three add ons. The deal team was always me and one partner because it was a small shop. I did a lot of modeling, funds flow, working with the QofE provider, making the diligence list, and did a lot of sourcing/business development work too. I never truly owned the purchase agreement process because a partner was always involved. I also never managed the reps and warranty work. Would I realistically be able to succeed as a VP of corp dev for a LMM PortCo (sub 200M revenue) as an individual contributor expected to own the deal execution process?
No longer an associate 1 - ignore the title.
Assuming you'd be leaving after A2? Short answer is yes, long answer is it obviously depends. Most looks you'd get are probably more of a Director title w/ a VP or "head of" corp dev above you if it's a more built out platform but VP and sole deal guy at a smaller platform is possible if you have the sourcing background you say you have.
I've hired that role with that background at a sub-scale services rollup w/ the bonus primarily dependent on EBITDA closed in the year. Most of my friends who made the jump after their associate program went into the director role at a larger platform.
do you have an MBA from a top school?
