SF Executive is working with a highly successful mid market private equity house to find a value oriented Chief Financial Officer for their B2B and B2C services portfolio company in the East Midlands.

At the right time there will also be an opportunity to lead an exit either into a secondary PE transaction or into a trade buyer.

In an idea world, you will have already led an exit with EV over £50m and also have direct experience of raising and managing the debt that is used to fund such an approach. A commensurate package and equity opportunity will exist for the successful candidate. The equity upside for the CFO will be a seven figure number, not necessarily starting with a one or even a two..........
