We recruit CMOs and senior marketing leaders across a wide range of PE portfolio sectors, including technology, healthcare, consumer products, business services, industrials, and financial services. Our candidates bring expertise in digital marketing, demand generation, product positioning, and go-to-market execution tailored to the accelerated growth expectations of private equity ownership. Q2: How long does a typical CMO executive search take for a portfolio company? Most of our portfolio company CMO searches are completed within 8 to 12 weeks, depending on role scope, sector complexity, and location. For urgent needs—such as post-acquisition transitions or leadership gaps—we also provide accelerated search timelines and interim marketing leadership solutions to protect growth momentum. Q3: Do you provide interim CMOs or marketing leaders for portfolio companies? Yes. We maintain a strong network of interim CMOs, Growth Officers, and Heads of Marketing who can step in immediately to drive performance, stabilize teams, or execute critical initiatives while we secure a permanent leader.

Our CMO candidates typically have deep experience in building and scaling marketing organizations under private equity timelines. Many hold MBAs or advanced degrees in business or marketing, and bring expertise in areas such as customer acquisition, digital transformation, brand building, pricing strategy, and data-driven decision-making. They often have prior success driving revenue growth, margin expansion, and enterprise value creation in PE-backed settings. Q5: How do you ensure confidentiality during a portfolio company search? Confidentiality is a cornerstone of our process. We understand the sensitivities of private equity ownership, competitive positioning, and leadership transitions. Our searches are conducted with strict discretion, ensuring that your investment strategy, exit planning, and internal dynamics remain protected throughout the process. #text-1290439229 { color: rgb(255,255,255); } #text-1290439229 > * { color: rgb(255,255,255); } { “@context”: “https://schema.org”, “@type”: “FAQPage”, “mainEntityOfPage”: { “@type”: “WebPage”, “@id”: “https://www.yoursite.com/portfolio-company-cmo-faq” }, “publisher”: { “@type”: “Organization”, “name”: “JRG Partners”, “logo”: { “@type”: “ImageObject”, “url”: “https://www.yoursite.com/logo.png” } }, “keywords”: “Portfolio company CMO search, private equity marketing leaders, interim CMO, PE-backed CMO recruitment, growth marketing executive”, “datePublished”: “2026-01-18”, “dateModified”: “2026-01-18”, “mainEntity”: [ { “@type”: “Question”, “name”: “What industries do you specialize in for portfolio company CMO placements?”, “acceptedAnswer”: { “@type”: “Answer”, “text”: “We recruit CMOs and senior marketing leaders across a wide range of PE portfolio sectors, including technology, healthcare, consumer products, business services, industrials, and financial services.
