Panel: How Operating Partners Align & Deliver Value Creation with CFOs

Don’t miss this forward-looking discussion at PEI New York, where Accordion’s Mitchel Nakken (Managing Director and Head of Strategic Finance) will moderate a powerhouse panel of TPG operating leaders and CFOs. Together, they’ll uncover how CFOs and PE operating partners can align to deliver meaningful value creation across the portfolio by exploring this topic through a unique TPG case study-lens.

We’ll discuss:

  • A CFO’s POV: What does great collaboration look like with PE Ops partners?
  • Leveraging cross-functional PE Ops to level-up high impact initiatives
  • Effecting transformational change while maintaining bandwidth to run a high-performing organization
  • Finance function playbooks: carve outs, org design and build, FP&A build, M&A, systems optimization
  • First-time CFO support and mentoring

The panel will take place at day 1 of PEI New York (Wednesday, October 29) at 9:30 AM. We look forward to seeing you there!
