Growing Together
Since 2008, Apax has offered portfolio company executives access to a unique group of business specialists with decades of operating experience in mission critical areas. We aim to inspire teams to identify effective new solutions that help their business excel.
On Demand
The Operational Excellence Team is available to rapidly engage, on the ground, wherever needed. The goal is understanding ‘what is’ to rapidly help assess ‘what can be’. Then select specialists can work with you to deliver transformational change.
Proactive
We offer execution rather than simply advice. We roll up our sleeves and “get in the boat”. Our specialists may very likely have tackled challenges similar to yours many times before. That experience also helps foresee hidden risk, adding valuable perspective. We work collaboratively, as an extension of - and fully aligned with - your team. Our success is defined by you achieving your stated goals.
Customised
We do not start with a “playbook”. Plans always are customised to work best for your business. The goal is to offer support and different ways of thinking, while adapting prior successful solution designs to enhance speed and certainty in delivery.
Connected
Apax fosters access to the experience of our family of connected companies. Your leadership can benefit from insights and best practices, along with the opportunity to forge cross-portfolio partnerships within our own extensive global network.

The power of the Apax Executive community
The power of the Apax network is immense: the portfolio employs more than 100,000 people around the globe and conducts business in all major markets. We harness this collective experience throughout the year, including through our centrepiece annual KnowledgeNow event.
KnowledgeNow brings together CEOs, CFOs and senior executives within the portfolio to share insights and best practices and to discuss the common challenges businesses face. Through this multi-day immersion, relationships are formed, ideas are reinforced or challenged, and cross-portfolio partnerships are established.
