PARTNERSHIP APPROACH
Building sustainable value and growth
We collaborate closely with our portfolio companies to spur growth through our sub-sector knowledge, systematic precision, and innovative, entrepreneurial approach. The trust and mutual collaboration we have forged with our management teams influences all of our interactions.
How we add value
By working in lockstep with our leadership teams, entrepreneurs, and founders, we collectively institute processes to drive value across the Advent portfolio. Our goal is always to create stronger, more valuable companies that operate sustainably, even after we’ve exited.
We believe in close collaboration
A tailored approach to creating value
From the start, we work with portfolio company leadership on a bespoke value creation plan to build the path to progress. We approach each business with a strong understanding of its sector, region, and unique organizational needs by harnessing our four decades of experience.
Leading expertise and specialized resources
Our expert operational guidance is expansive. Besides our global and regional resources, and our depth of sub-sector knowledge, the portfolio companies we partner with benefit from our in-house sector specialists and broad network of more than 130 Operating Partners and Operations Advisors.
Focused on creating sustainable value
Our collaborative approach represents a collective accountability with management teams. As we aim to build sustainable operational models, we always try to ensure we’re advancing the best ideas to create enduring change.
