Placement of Nonexecutive Director on Private Equity Board

Leveraging The World’s Insight Network for Enriching Board Expertise

Challenge

A private equity (PE) client was finalizing the acquisition of a major purpose-built student accommodation business. To strengthen their knowledge of the industry, the PE firm required a sector expert to join their board as a nonexecutive director and support the business’s growth over the course of the investment cycle with relevant expertise and insights.

The GLG Approach

GLG first held a briefing call with the client to discuss the private equity company’s needs, the nature of the role, and the ideal candidate’s profile. GLG then produced a selection of former C-suite candidates who had board-level experience within relevant industries.

Outcome

The client short-listed several candidates and conducted interviews via video calls and in-person meetings. They decided to work with a Network Member with more than 20 years of experience within the student accommodation sector who had been part of a team that had completed successful private equity exits and had previously held multiple board positions.
