Prepared for [First name] [Last name], [Firm name]
Three leadership decisions sit behind every investment thesis.
[First name], this page goes with the letter I mailed you. It holds six questions about the leadership decisions in front of [Firm name] and returns a short read you can take to your next partner or operating discussion.
Why this reached you
What we see in [Firm name]’s position
[Two or three sentences written for this firm from public information.]
71% of large PE-backed companies hired a new CEO under private equity ownership.
Gompers, Kaplan and Mukharlyamov, “The Market for CEOs: Evidence from Private Equity,” NBER Working Paper 30899, 2023. A study of 192 U.S. buyouts above $1 billion.
More than three-quarters of those new CEOs came from outside the company.
One question sits behind those changes: what does this thesis require of its leaders, and what does this team bring to it? Our work is building the evidence for that answer.

Who sent this
Miranda [Last name], Founder and Principal
I lead INDx Talent Solutions, a leadership assessment and development consultancy. I am in my 15th year of this work, eight of them at Hogan Assessments, where I helped clients turn assessment data into leadership decisions.
I sent this because the decisions in front of [Firm name] are the ones we study. If a conversation would help, my direct line and email are on the letter. Otherwise, your playbook arrives by mail.
