Strengthen Your Investees Without Becoming Their Operator.
Your portfolio companies need senior leaders as much as capital. We search our collective for vetted executives, match them to each company's stage and sector, and embed them part-time, so the founders you backed in Manila get experienced help without a full-time hire.
For investors, the real risk is how the leadership gap gets filled, not the gap itself.
Funds, venture arms and family offices in the Philippines run into the same tension:
You can see the gap clearly
You understand what type of leadership would fix it. But you don't have a reliable, high-quality source you trust enough to refer.
Referring wrong is worse than doing nothing
It costs time, money, and founder trust. Your reputation with the portfolio company is at stake.
You do not want to carry management risk
Being seen as directing the company beyond your governance role creates complications.
The governance boundary
You want to add value beyond capital, but need to respect the line between governance and management.
We are a fractional executive search firm with governance built in, not a directory of freelancers. When you introduce us to a portfolio company, you introduce a search process, a vetted collective and our oversight of the engagement.
Who this is for, and who it is not
Best for
- Adding operational value to investees without taking on management risk
- Giving founders a vetted operator you can refer with confidence
- Supporting several portfolio companies from one standing relationship
- Professionalising an investee while respecting its existing culture
- Staying in your governance role while the engagement is run for you
Not for
- Installing a controlling manager to run the company for you
- A single one-off introduction with no ongoing oversight
- Investors who want to direct day-to-day operations themselves
- A freelancer directory rather than a managed engagement
What your portfolio companies receive
A considered search and steady governance, whatever the stage of the company you refer.
Leaders chosen for fit
Matched on stage, sector and working style as well as function, so the founder gets someone they can work with from the first week.
Oversight after the match
We stay involved for the life of each engagement. If a second gap appears, the next search starts from the brief and history we already hold on that company.
A collective behind each executive
A portfolio CFO can ask a CTO in our collective about a technology spend before it is committed. The company gets one leader and access to many perspectives.
Handovers we manage
Should an executive need to leave, the handover and the follow-on search are ours to organise, so a change of leader does not cost the company a quarter.
Care with family-owned assets
For family businesses in your portfolio, a defined scope and clear boundaries help bring in professional management while respecting the founding family and its relationships with the large groups.
The partnership model
One relationship. Portfolio-wide coverage.
Establish the standing relationship
We understand your investment thesis, your portfolio, and the types of leadership gaps most common across your investments.
You introduce us when needed
When a portfolio company needs operational leadership, you make the introduction. We handle everything else.
The right operator, fast
Discovery, matching, scoping, engagement management, and ongoing oversight, without you managing or coordinating it.
Visibility without burden
Lightweight reporting to you, not operational detail, but confidence that the engagement is performing. Investor-grade oversight without investor-level involvement.
Support by investor type
Different investors carry different portfolio needs. We match the operator to the need and manage the engagement, so it never lands back on you.
The operators we embed in your portfolio companies
Every operator is matched to the portfolio company's stage, sector and challenge.
