"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-measurable’ 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. 

Having the right talent and culture is not only about de-risking an investment by mitigating the risk of downside events, it's also about having the best leaders in-place early to accelerate growth quickly and enable the frequency of upside events. 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. So often, the human element is the differentiator between failure and success; between an ‘A outcome’ and a ‘C+ outcome’. 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."

“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. FMG Leading’s tools and resources helped us see the forest through the trees, keeping us focused on the future through a strategic lens.

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. Ultimately, 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 is an essential partner in the development of our leaders, culture and performance. I have benefited from their trusted counsel for many years.

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

“When I first became CEO, not only did I need the support of FMG Leading to help make sure that I could be successful, I was bringing together a new set of leaders.

FMG Leading is really a strategic business partner to us. They bring a broad perspective both of the healthcare industry, as well as their experience working across the healthcare continuum, to enable solutions that are customized to what DispatchHealth needs.”

“My experience with FMG Leading transcends two decades and now three separate successful scaled health care service providers (DaVita, Surgical Care Affiliates, Ivy Rehab), each of which involved complete strategic, cultural and talent overhauls. I trust the team at FMG Leading in a very rare way. They are good people that share my personal and professional values and are extremely talented business partners.

FMG Leading as an organization is a class act that understands value creation … and the importance of culture, talent, and people in any such equation.”

If you feel that your organizational effectiveness is impeded because your senior leadership team is not firing on all cylinders, or if you feel that your own limitations as a leader are impacting the organization, then FMG Leading is the type of firm that can really help you make progress.”

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 need it most.”

“I engaged FMG Leading to advise me through a number of significant changes over a period of 1.5 years. They were instrumental in helping me navigate the unique challenges that the business was facing. While not inexpensive, the investment has been transformational and the ROI is clear.

My team and our business is growing more rapidly than ever, and the stress on me as a leader has been reduced because my executives have professional advisors to help them through their growth challenges.
