Over 70% of CEO’s are replaced during the holding period – one more indication of today’s challenging value creation plans and competitive deal markets. However, the cost of replacing executives is high. It’s not just the direct cost of recruiting. It’s is also the cost of lost time and uncertainty in the organisation that hit IRR. Beyond this, top management talent is increasingly sensitive to a sponsor’s track record of management change-outs.
