Business Leaders Network

Business Leaders Network

3i works actively with exceptional business leaders and entrepreneurs globally to ensure the businesses we invest in fulfill their potential and achieve market leadership. 
Experienced in leading substantial companies, you have the insight and energy to drive value creation in high potential businesses.  You may be seeking new challenges to capitalise on your outstanding 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 network spans Europe, Asia and North America.   By working with talented leaders, leveraging our global connections and building on deep sector and geographic insight we are able to identify and selectively invest in the most exciting growth companies on a majority or minority basis.

Working with us

3i’s approach is founded on partnerships, which 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.  Each relationship is unique, evolving to create the right fit between your personal aspirations and skills and the needs of our businesses.  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.  

A small number of highly proactive and entrepreneurial individuals may also join the 3i investment teams as a Senior Adviser.  This is a role that brings together our complementary capabilities to seek out new investment opportunities where personal networks, market knowledge, and your leadership experience could create significant advantage. 

Our aim is simple:  to help build great companies that deliver world-class results.  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

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.
