Direct-to-CEO reporting

In 2021, over 75% of our Head of Corporate Development searches had the position reporting directly to the CEO of the portfolio company. This is up from roughly 50% in 2020 and 33% in 2019.

A sharpened demand for strategic product sourcing has led to a more defined procurement role within supply chain functions.

The industrial manufacturing deal volume saw a downward trend for the first five months of 2023, but this could be changing.
