As a team of experienced operating executives and functional experts, FPC is a trusted partner to our portfolio companies as they embark on their journey to create immense value by ultimately driving a performance advantage and outstanding returns.*

Roles We Play

Our Francisco Partners Consulting (FPC) team includes former CEOs, CTOs, CFOs, CROs, and other C-level operating executives who bring relevant, first-hand experience leading technology companies through periods of profitable growth and successful exits. Their expertise is complemented by a team of functional experts who cover the full range of value creation levers across product and technology, sales and marketing, human capital, customer service and success, procurement, finance and accounting, M&A, and legal.

FPC team members act as true utility players every step of the way and are prepared to support our companies in the best way possible, whether that means consulting and advising, serving as interim executives, or rolling up their sleeves to help with execution.

Our Approach

The FPC team works collaboratively with the senior executives in our portfolio companies in an agile and circumstantial manner. We know when to get intimately involved and when to get out of the way with our companies. FPC seeks to build trusted relationships with the senior management team from the very start in the due diligence phase. We then work closely with them throughout the investment life cycle all the way through a successful exit.

FPC is an engaged and value-adding partner to our portfolio companies, investing the time necessary to learn the nuances of our businesses and partner effectively with management to achieve operational excellence and profitable growth.
