Hey all,
I have tried unsuccessfully to find information on how are usually compensate senior managers hired by PE firms to improve the company acquired. If anyone from this industry could enlighten me on what a typical package looks like? (Stocks? How much? Or Bonus based on performance etc...)
Thanks,

What size company? How far into the investment? What position? Numbers vary tremendously depending on these factors.
Small portfolio company: $5m to $10m of revenue Small PE fund from Europe (so far they got $100m) but they focus in a very niche sector: insurance companies in emerging markets Role is COO of the portfolio company. The PE have already acquired majority stakes and is currently changing some senior management members (keeping the CEO though). Actually it is not really a PE firm, they do function exactly as PE but they don't exit (at least not in the short-mid term). They do principal investments (what they claim but I don't know what it means) and expect to improve drastically the cash flow of their portfolio companies and keep their stakes for a generation.
Heads up
At that size of investment in insurance, it sounds like they are targeting emerging markets (eg Africa and/or Asia). Experiences there will differ wildly market to market.
