"FMG Leading helps WindRose leverage a cutting edge approach to backing portfolio investments, clarifying the financial impact of human capital and culture through data and process. Often in Private Equity, these elements are viewed as the softer, ‘un-measureable’ elements of strategy, but we’ve learned that the ‘soft stuff’ ultimately is the ‘hard stuff’….and is highly correlated to successful outcomes when you get it right. 

Bringing in experts like FMG Leading helps us evaluate talent around a deal, both in terms of existing talent in a company, and also talent we bring to a company post-acquisition. By maximizing the effectiveness of our human capital, FMG Leading helps our portfolio companies scale rapidly and also scale to the very best of their ability."

“FMG Leading is an essential partner in the change of our culture and performance. I have benefited from their trusted counsel for many years. Their executive coaching process is an integral part of how we develop senior executives, and their unique approach to wisdom-based leadership has made a significant impact on our leaders and the results we achieve.

In terms of culture, understanding what you've got, where you're at, and the pathways or multiple options around the big levers and value points that drive a culture, FMG Leading is bar none the best in my experience; it's extraordinary. I don't think anyone else can crystallize the meaning of culture, the barriers it presents, and the levers to drive systemic change like FMG Leading can and does.”

“When it comes to the rapid growth expectations associated with taking on an investor for the first time, sometimes you simply don't know what you don't know. Taking on a private equity partner requires you to look at things a little bit differently - you have to keep up with the pace and upgrade your skills so you can make the best possible decisions.

The new growth trajectory at ImmunoTek created a whole multitude of obstacles …. and also a whole multitude of opportunities. The team at FMG Leading helped us effectively navigate that course. Our partnership helped us merge the old with the new, allowing us to grow into a place where our executive team was aligned and moving in lock-step with our board - and advancing the company forward in a very healthy and proactive way.“

“FMG Leading brings experience that enables them to immediately place what type of leader they're dealing with on the senior executive team and what will be their strengths and opportunities.

I don’t think we could have accomplished what we did, in such a short period of time, without having experienced advisors guiding us. We have a fantastic relationship with the FMG Leading team and were able to leverage their support at the key inflection points in our growth journey where we needed it most.”

Our partnership with FMG Leading resulted in an outcome that exceeded our expectations, and set the tone for how we will operate and grow in the years to come.”
