There’s private capital technology consulting. There’s private capital fractional CFOs. There’s private capital operations consulting. There is private capital funds administration. But is anybody really knitting it together into a single coherent package that anticipates what’s coming next for the private capital industry’s very considerable operations blind spot?

We won’t speak for our guest, but Gale Strategies will go on the record saying that the “front office” of private capital – for all their purported understanding of how technology rips up and transforms the playbook for every other industry – is missing the boat on their own industry (please pardon the mixed metaphors). But there are exceptions, and those exceptions are the ones to watch.

And a consulting firm to watch in that context is LewisLevy who are defining the seem between more traditional consulting for private capital that represents the opening way forward.
