Clarify decision rights, investment process, performance context, AUM or capital responsibility, and team dependency.
Match the operating model
Evaluate mandate scope, sector specialization, investor base, investment horizon, and required resources.
Manage a sensitive transition
Explore compensation, contractual limitations, relationship portability, and stakeholder alignment before advanced interviews.
