This page is to provide an insight into the role of an Operating Partner. Operating Partners are resources in the private equity community that support public and privately held companies with a specific compliment of pre investment and post transaction services. Operating Partners are typically secured by general partners (GPs), on behalf of their investors or limited partners (LPs) and support portfolio business investments with financial operational and technical due diligence. In addition, Operating Partners then work closely with management teams to structure and evaluate how to best drive operating performance and unlock value, usually in the form of an operating management system. The OMS creates a framework for organizational design & development, strategic planning & execution, process improvement and performance management.
