In this episode, we get into the practical reality of compensation in private capital-backed businesses with Tony Gilbert, Head of Compensation Advice at Jamieson.

When should management teams benchmark salary and bonus? How do incentives change when the buyer is a Strategic rather than another PE fund? What’s different about take-privates, where hundreds of employees may be used to equity schemes? And as hold periods stretch with infrastructure and long-duration capital, what replaces the classic “in-and-out” PE equity story — cash LTIPs, phantom plans, retention bonuses, or something else? We cover it all on “The Coalface of Private Equity”.
