Excellent teams
We look for excellent management teams that are able to balance attention to detail and hard analytics with strategic vision and relentless execution.
But even excellent teams can be made better. The teams we choose must strive for continual improvement and welcome active owners. Management teams looking for distant owners without views on the future of their business should look elsewhere. Verdane professionals are demanding and the company’s management must be up to the challenge.
Structured focus on growth and profitability
Management teams should be able to develop and implement a disciplined and structured growth plan. They must understand that optimising the underlying profitability of the business model is an integral part of a well thought out and well executed growth strategy. Growth-focused teams implement periodic and transparent reporting systems and leave no part of the organisation untouched in their search for value creation.
Pace of execution
Management must be flexible, dynamic and capable of adjusting quickly to market changes and capitalising on the opportunities that emerge. We believe speed and a willingness to make controversial decisions are prerequisites for delivering on ambitious growth plans.
