We recently sat down with Harry Shimp, Senior Operating Partner at MCM Capital, to discuss his role at the firm and its portfolio companies and thought you might find it interesting. Among other things, Harry covers:

• Types of issues a CEO of a portfolio company should discuss with a senior operating partner
• Setting the communication and reporting cadence between the portfolio company and senior operating partner
• What management teams should expect from weekly calls with a senior operating partner
• Characteristics that make a potential portfolio company attractive to a senior operating partner
• Maintaining a company's culture after a private equity acquisition
• Advice for business owners considering selling to a private equity firm
