The LCap Group

Leadership Search, Development and Advisory for Private Equity Funds Globally

The LCap Group specialises in Leadership Insights, Consulting, and Executive Search for high-growth companies and investors.

Our Approach:

Our Leadership Insights offer a multi-dimensional view of leadership, both pre- and post-deal, for Venture, Growth, Mid and Large Cap funds and their portfolio companies.

We believe every management team has a "Leadership Capital" value representing their probability of success. Like any capital, Leadership Capital can increase or decrease over time.

Leadership is the primary lever for value creation. Our insights into leadership design, development, and change are central to developing more effective leadership teams. Our goal is to maximise the value your leadership team delivers, ensuring your investment succeeds.

Leadership Dynamics:

Leadership Dynamics is a digital analytics product used pre- and post-deal by Venture, Growth, Mid and Large Cap funds and their portfolio companies.
