Change at the top doesn’t mean decline, it means progress... It's no secret, across PE-backed healthcare - especially in Ophthalmology and Optometry, there’s been a noticeable shift in leadership recently But instead of a sign of slowdown, this often signals the next phase of growth. We’re seeing funds reposition their portfolio companies: ✅ Strengthening leadership teams ✅ Driving integration and operational efficiency ✅ And gearing up for the next wave of expansion or sale I've been through enough waves now in this space to know it's not worrying - it’s exciting Because leadership transitions like these open the door for the right operators - the ones who know how to scale, build culture, and create lasting enterprise value From what I’m seeing, 2026 is shaping up to be a huge year of opportunity for both growing groups and proven executives in this space #PrivateEquity #Ophthalmology #Optometry #HealthcareLeadership #ExecutiveSearch #HealthcareGrowth

Private Equity is only as strong as its Operators and Leaders Deploying capital is easy , creating value isn’t The right leadership at each stage of the PE lifecycle can make or break an investment: 1. Platform Build (0–18 months) – You need 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀: leaders who thrive in ambiguity, setting structure, systems, and KPIs from scratch. 2. Integration & Growth (18–36 months) – You need 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀: executives who can unify cultures, deliver synergy, and scale smart. 3. Optimization & Value Creation (36–60 months) – You need 𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗿𝘀: commercially minded leaders focused on margin, EBITDA, and sustainable growth. 4. Pre-Exit / Gearing for Sale – You need 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀: detail-driven operators who can maximize valuation, clean up inefficiencies, and present a strong story to buyers. Every stage demands something different - and misalignment between leadership and lifecycle is one of the most common reasons value creation plans stall. At GRS Talent, we help Healthcare PE firms and portfolio companies align leadership talent to their investment thesis - ensuring the right operator is in the right seat at the right time, all the way through to exit. #PrivateEquity #Leadership #ValueCreation #PortfolioCompanies #GRSTalent

How's the market looking right now? According to Bain & Company Global Healthcare Private Equity and M&A Report 2025, global healthcare PE deal value hit $115 billion in 2024, the second-highest total on record. And in eye care specifically, Physician Growth Partners' Q1 2025 Eye Care Private Equity Report highlights that investment interest continues to surge, with consolidation activity expanding across both Ophthalmology and Optometry platforms. But while capital is flowing, leadership capacity just isn’t scaling at the same rate. That’s where GRS Talent steps in, connecting exceptional leaders with high-growth PE-backed and independent providers across Ophthalmology, Optometry, Dental, and other specialties. The market’s growing fast. The question is - do you have the right people in place to keep up? #EyeCareLeadership #PrivateEquityHealthcare #OphthalmologyGrowth #HealthcareMergers #PracticeConsolidation

GRS Talent reposted this
Launching GRS Talent has given me the opportunity I have been craving for a long time... As someone who embraces and strives for innovation to provide the best possible service to my clients, I now have full say over... - My own Tech Stack, now industry leading softwares (to better serve my clients) - Flexible working hours for my US market (to better serve my clients) - Contracts, Fees and Terms of Business - more flexibility and stretch (to better serve my clients) - Tailored search process, designed specifically for the PE-backed Healthcare model (to better serve my clients) The common theme? The decision was made purely with my service and clients top of mind I now have 0 limitations to the service I can provide Oh and one more thing, Location Freedom - after over 5+ years it's well overdue for some in person meetings to further deepen relationships I'll be soon doing a US tour - see you there!
