Flexible and dynamic partnerships
Relationships within the Business Leaders Network take many forms with engagement ranging from informal consultancy through to formal executive and non-executive board roles.
Each relationship is unique, designed to create the right fit between professional aspirations and skills and the needs of our businesses – both current and potential.
Contributions can range from input (often proprietary) to sector origination, to evaluating investment opportunities, developing investment theses and driving value creation strategies.
A small number of individuals who are highly proactive and entrepreneurial in approach may also become a 3i Senior Adviser. This role brings together 3i’s complementary capabilities to seek new investment opportunities where personal networks, market knowledge, and leadership experience could create significant advantage.
The qualities we seek in the individuals within our network include the ability to set strategies, lead change, inspire people, apply insight, drive growth and create value. Pivotally, we also look for a close cultural fit to ensure an alignment of motivation, commitment and values.
Remuneration can take many forms, but is always intrinsically tied to value creation, thus financially meaningful.
