Business Leaders Network

Business Leaders Network

Are you ready for a fresh challenge?

Already experienced in leading substantial companies, you have the insight and energy to drive value creation in high potential businesses.  Maybe you are seeking new challenges to capitalise on your exceptional track record, having achieved enviable success at the top.  Certainly you are attracted to the pace and high expectations associated with private equity-backed businesses.

As a world leader in private equity, 3i has access to an unrivalled flow of investment opportunities globally.  Our unique exceptional network spans Europe, Asia and the USA, allowing us to identify and select the most exciting growth companies in which to invest – whether on a majority or minority basis.

3i actively works with highly-respected business leaders and entrepreneurs to help businesses fulfill their potential and achieve market leadership.   Each relationship is unique, evolving to create the right fit between your personal aspirations and skills and the needs of our business.

Working with us

Partnerships are flexible, dynamic and take many forms – from working together to assess investment opportunities and create winning strategies to taking non-executive, executive and advisory roles within a portfolio company.

A small number of individuals who are highly proactive and entrepreneurial in approach may also join the 3i investment teams as a Senior Adviser.  This role joins together 3i’s and your complementary capabilities to actively seek new investment opportunities where personal networks, market knowledge, and your leadership could create significant advantage.

The qualities we seek are those underpinning your success: your ability to set strategies, lead change, inspire people, apply insight, drive growth and create value.  

Our aim is simple:  to help build great companies that deliver world-class results.  3i’s approach is founded on partnership:  working with the best leaders, leveraging our global connections and building on deep sector and geographic knowledge.   In achieving these goals, we deliver meaningful financial rewards that reflect your contribution: consultancy fees for project based roles; success fees for deal origination and co-investment opportunities for active board roles.  The case studies and selected individual profiles demonstrate some of the ways business leaders and 3i have joined together to make great things happen.

Connecting into the right place

3i’s Business Leaders Network is all about connecting you with the right opportunities and teams within our business globally.  For each sector and geography, there is a dedicated Director focused on getting to know you and identifying ways we might work together.   We would be delighted to hear from you for an exploratory discussion.
