Operationally Focussed Funds - LDN

Hey guys,

By way of intro, I am an An2/An3 at a US bank in LDN. Looking to see what operationally focussed funds are working in LDN.

I know there are ample buy-out firms etc but mostly interested in funds that take a bit more operational ownership as opposed to investing and hiring external specialists and keeping their own hands clean.

Turnaround funds also welcome.

My background is in Generalist M&A but have also got decent experience in Tech (not just M&A - I mean the actual thing in terms of strategising and implementing solutions at work). Also, if it helps, academic background is STEM heavy from a Top 4 UK university.

Basically looking for something that invests in good ideas/technology but then also works on improving the product operationally/turning around a failing product/biz before taking it to market/selling.

Private Equity Short Resume Review / Recap

“Very good planning prior to the meeting and effective notes that allowed the session to go quickly and effectively. We covered a lot of topics on the resume and I recieved a good amount of notes that I can correct my resume in order to make it more specific for the PE companies I will work with. Was very helpful in the way of bringing out niche skills I have in order to maximise my chances at differentiating myself from more typical IB candidates. Also provided good insights on the MBA process, what is valuable and the WHY side of P.E. which I will go into depth with in my WHY statements that I am going to do. ”

Private Equity Mock Interview

“Andre was amazing to work with. He brought real energy and clarity to every conversation, explained complex ideas simply, and always made time to help. His attention to detail and calm under pressure lifted the whole team, and his feedback was honest, specific and genuinely useful. Beyond the work, he was approachable, generous with his knowledge and made everyone around him better. Every session with him felt insightful and inspiring. I'd love to work with Andre again and would recommend him without hesitation. ”
