At Osprey Clarke, we understand that private equity firms are laser-focused on cash flow, equity value growth, and delivering results. In a competitive landscape, value creation must go beyond strategy — it requires swift and effective execution by trusted experts who deliver measurable outcomes.

We recognise that traditional recruitment models fail to align with your priorities. Paying large upfront fees for unproven talent is outdated and misaligned with the risk-reward mindset of PE. That’s why we’ve developed a transformational interim management proposition that ensures our success is tied to yours.

Our Proposition: Quality Interims, Outcome-Focused, Fees on Success

We combine human expertise with an AI-powered platform to ensure you engage the best interim executives with track records of delivering results in complex, high-stakes environments. Our approach isn’t just about placing people — it’s about delivering business outcomes that drive cash flow improvements, operational efficiency, and long-term value creation.

Here’s how we’re different:

1. AI-Driven Project Planning

Our proprietary AI platform creates a detailed Statement of Work (SOW) for each assignment, outlining clear milestones, deliverables, and value targets. This SOW ensures you have complete visibility on the impact of our placements from day one.

2. Pay on Success

We’re so confident in the quality of our interims that we only trigger fees upon the delivery of pre-agreed milestones. Payments are tied directly to value created, not to time spent or people placed.

3. A Curated Network of Proven Interim Leaders

Our interims are not typical candidates. We handpick seasoned C-suite professionals with proven success in PE-backed businesses, whether in transformation, M&A, turnaround, or growth acceleration. Every executive we place has been vetted and referenced through our extensive network.

What You Gain

• Risk-Free Talent Acquisition: Pay only when results are delivered.

• Outcome-Focused Delivery: Align talent with value creation milestones.

• Reduced Time to Impact: Our platform ensures speed and efficiency in identifying and onboarding the right talent.

• Proven Expertise: Every interim executive we place has a demonstrable track record of delivering growth in portfolio businesses.
