The OMG is comprised of a team of seasoned operations executives with global experience in all areas of business operations. Primary intervention with our operating partners varies on a case-by-case basis. Often, the OMG is involved in monitoring portfolio company performance, evaluating and supporting upgrades in management resources, cost-reduction programs and market expansion.
