What is pre-deal executive search?
Pre-deal executive search is securing leadership before a transaction closes, rather than after. Vardis identifies and lines up executives who are committed to joining on day one and who can help with diligence, the investment committee, and lenders. Our fees are success-based and tied to a completed transaction, so our interests are aligned with yours.
What is talent due diligence in private equity?
Talent due diligence, sometimes called management due diligence, is a confidential, pre-LOI assessment of a target's leadership team. Vardis benchmarks executives against top industry talent and references them discreetly, so investors can make faster support-or-replace decisions and de-risk the value creation plan before capital is committed.
Should a PE firm line up its leadership team before or after the deal closes?
Before. Waiting until after close to address leadership gaps delays value creation and puts the deal at risk. Lining up committed executives pre-close means the management team is ready to execute the value creation plan from day one.
What are Vardis Exclusive Advisors?
Exclusive Advisors are industry experts who work solely with your team during diligence. Because they will not simultaneously advise competitors on the same deal, you gain proprietary insight to support or challenge the investment thesis and a genuine competitive edge.
How do pre-deal search and advisory fees work?
Vardis pre-deal services operate on a success-fee structure with no per-industry fees. You only pay when deals close, and those costs can typically be covered by the portfolio company.
