Hi,

For people who are interested in a portfolio ops role, I would say the best strategy would be the following:

  • Work in the PE ringfence team for ~1-2 years
  • Get some additional implementation / transformation experience outside of the ringfence team
  • Network with your PE clients 

All the best!
