In this episode, Nicholas Barton sits down with Roy Perticucci, former CEO of Allegro and a veteran of large-scale transformation across Europe’s leading digital and retail businesses.

Here, Roy offers a practical view of what defines an effective Chief Transformation Officer today. He discusses the importance of analytical rigour, disciplined execution, and credibility with CEOs and boards, where execution remains the defining factor in successful transformation.

The discussion reflects on how private equity’s focus has shifted from deal execution to operational value creation, and what this means for leaders responsible for delivering measurable change.
