What We Do
- Revitalize underperforming companies and uptimize exit equity values.
- Engage with management and investors to help them through growth stages to reduce risks of failure while creating shareholder value
How We Do It
-
Improving Operational Performance:
This is a comprehensive diagnostic exercise to assess the degree to which the issues are external (strategic) and/or internal (execution) and recommending corrective action.
-
Assisting in CEO transitions:
We have access to talent search channels – interim or permanent positions.
Our primary focus is on assisting, coaching and mentoring to insure a smooth transition. In sudden and unanticipated circumstances we will intervene and provide Interim coverage. -
Providing Board Members:
Outside board members are invaluable as they bring a “been there done that” perspective to the many challenges faced by management.
-
Mentoring and Leadership Roundtable Forums:
Mentoring founder CEOs and first time CEOs is the hallmark of VPG. CEOs and senior management should reach out to mentors rather than assume that theirs is a burden to be shouldered alone. CEOs can avoid costly mistakes and gain proficiency in their roles much faster by engaging a high-profile veteran from outside the company. Also, in addition to one-on-one mentoring, VPG provides “Leadership Roundtable Forums” for executives and other management members
-
Providing Equity Financing:
All members of the Group are well connected in the venture and private equity communities. We will not only introduce potential investors but will also consider a direct investment when appropriate.
Compensation and Fees
VPG is open to considering equity (advisory shares), cash or a combination thereof.
