  • Wide MAVAN featured graphic on a dark navy-to-black background, framed by thin coral arcs on the left and right edges. A coral eyebrow reads “The Problem” above the white headline “After A PE Firm Buys A Consumer Brand, Growth Often Falls Short.” At center, a horizontal progress bar labeled “Planned value” is filled about three-quarters in coral and marked “Captured,” and a bracket under the empty remainder reads “Shortfall.” A caption cites Alvarez & Marsal’s 2026 finding that 41% of PE investors and operators captured less than three-quarters of their planned value over the past year. A second line cites FTI Consulting, 2026: the gap costs sponsors at exit, where buyers now rank margin growth as the top driver of value. The underlined answer recommends fixing the growth system before adding spend, so revenue grows faster than the cost of winning it. A coral MAVAN logo sits at the bottom.

    Who Is The Best Growth Partner For PE Portfolio Companies?

    The best growth partner for a private equity portfolio company behaves like an operating partner you deploy, not an agency you brief. It reads the whole growth system before it spends, owns a revenue number alongside management, and leaves the capability behind so the sponsor can redeploy it.
