I work primarily with execs who are on point to deliver the growth, process improvements and cost savings that generate high multiples.

If you're a CEO who believes that in private equity your backers are invested in PEOPLE even more than in businesses or ideas -- and you believe your high-potential CFO or COO has both the capability and the drive to become even more effective in delivering the results you and your P/E investors are expecting -- then I can commit to you that NEXT's tailored frameworks will create a minimum 4x-6x ROI on your firm's executive coaching investment. Let's talk.

Fresh approach. Rapid impact. Lasting results.

CFO Coach

Private equity industry offices — PE sponsors and portfolio company leaders want a **CFO coach** who’s lived in their world.
I’ve been there, done that. Starting in private equity in 1992, I worked for 8 CFOs, and under the leadership of 4 CEOs – including NYC healthcare I/T leader HMSY, sponsored by WCAS.
Later serving as an Operations CFO for a $900 million segment of a Fortune 500 healthcare company, I also know what life is like as a line manager with 400 people and a $75 million P&L.

Having been on both the buy-side and sell-side of M&A, I’ve experienced the thrill of closing deals, the joys of improving processes and growing revenue, and the agony of reducing staff.
With 25 years in the corporate world, and then as co-founder of a small company that was acquired, I readily identify with the challenges and opportunities that PE operating partners and portfolio company leaders face. **Especially** **CFOs**.

This is game-changing. It’s not about incrementally edging up efficiency to do more; it’s about breaking the mold and doing things differently, better. Highly experiential learning techniques lead to breakthrough perspectives, and tap fresh energy. Work habits and beliefs that hobble performance and restrict growth are identified, and executives’ resulting new vision drives lasting results.

ENDORSEMENTS

Edith Hamilton provides executive coaching for CFOs, COOs and CXOs in select cities.

“Really helpful… she’s been in the shoes of a CFO before. She understands the world I came from, the world I live in… the challenges of a CFO, all the different expectations… And reflecting now, having been in this role a few months, it was probably one of the best decisions I ever made.”
Peter Oey, CFO – Grab | Prior CFO for LegalZoom, 2015-2020

“I’ve been able to move from a Controller- CFO mindset to a much more strategic and operational focus. And now I see how my colleagues were wanting this greater level of partnership. You enabled me to see what held me back and equipped me with the specific strategies, tools and tactics that are making all the difference.”
