Tenth Annual Private Equity (PE) Leadership Survey | 2025
Digging deeper into disruption's impacts—and implications for leaders
For ten consecutive years now, AlixPartners has monitored the most-significant trends and developments affecting private equity (PE) leadership, through our annual survey of PE firms and portfolio companies (portcos).
In the decade during which we have conducted this research, we have frequently documented the increasing importance of (1) leadership and talent management to the PE industry and (2) the companies in which the industry invests. Many factors have risen in prominence during this period, and they have come together to make human capital more valuable in creating tangible value.
