Team Fist Bump

Founder-led businesses rarely come with clean, connected data. Information may be spread across different systems, tracked in someone’s spreadsheet, or simply not captured at all. GIG helps make sense of the chaos, determine which numbers can be trusted, and build practical reporting so leadership and investors can see what is really happening in the business.

Data Dictionary and Governance

  • Create a shared data dictionary that establishes consistent business definitions, calculation logic, data sources, and ownership across the organization. This creates a reliable foundation for reporting and reduces conflicting versions of performance.

KPI Development

  • Develop a focused KPI framework connecting the investment thesis and company strategy to measurable operating performance. GIG helps leadership define the right metrics, calculation methods, targets, ownership, and reporting cadence.

BI Reporting and Performance Visibility

  • Translate fragmented data into reliable performance reporting that helps investors and leadership teams understand results, identify emerging risks, and focus on what needs attention. GIG defines reporting requirements, coordinates business and technical teams, and helps ensure dashboards provide accurate and actionable information.

Founder-Led Integration Leadership

For private equity firms acquiring founder-led businesses, GIG establishes a right-sized integration approach designed for companies that may have limited infrastructure, informal processes, and leaders balancing integration with running the business.
 

  • Establish Governance & Program Cadence
    Formalize ownership, decision rights, integration priorities, meeting cadence, risk and issue management, and executive reporting.

  • Clarify Roles & Educate
    We help newly appointed senior leaders, many of whom have been promoted from legacy management roles, understand what is expected of them at the VP level. This includes clarifying functional ownership, decision rights, performance expectations, and how each leader works with the founder, platform leadership, private equity sponsor, and broader senior leadership team throughout the integration.

  • Repeatable Playbook
    In support of future acquisitions and helping the platform integrate each new business more consistent.

Performance Management

Founder-led businesses often outgrow the informal way priorities and decisions were once managed. As the platform grows, founders, newly appointed VPs, and outside hires may be trying to lead together without a shared way of working. GIG helps create the structure, meeting rhythm, and accountability the senior team needs to run the business together.
 

  • Establish Operating Cadence
    GIG will establish an operating cadence that senior leaders need to run the business effectively. This includes leadership meeting structure, KPI reviews, priority setting, decision tracking, accountability, issue escalation, and follow-through between meetings.

  • Facilitate Adoption
    GIG can facilitate its initial adoption and provide ongoing Chief of Staff support until the leadership team is prepared to manage it internally.
