Welcome to the first edition of Pilot’s Log

The PILOTpartners team truly believes in the power of communicating industry news you will not have read elsewhere together with serious (and sometimes less serious) comment on the big issues of the day.

In its relatively short life thus far, the PILOTpartners team has already made a big impression in the two marketplaces we serve – the portfolio businesses of private equity and venture capital investors and turnaround and restructuring in the wider world – with some really stretching searches and placements of senior independent directors for client projects in both the UK and Europe.

We are in a central and privileged position to disseminate newsworthy material given the variety of people we meet every day who seek our advice and access to our network, but always respecting the confidentiality of all concerned. In this edition of Pilot’s Log we focus on our survey of interim management trends, interviews with an interim CEO just returned from a tough assignment in China and a well known stressed equity specialist, not to mention the great CompAir turnaround war story.

In this and succeeding editions of Pilot’s Log we aim to change your preconceptions of the interim management industry and the real value of its providers in the PILOTpartners team. Enjoy the journey.

With our best wishes
