Currently a Director in RX. I have no interest in the buy side / investing, I want to work for an actual company in the c-suite (with RSUs). How would that transition work you think?

If you're in RX, I'd guess you have some level of networking opportunities or existing relationships with PE firms, so going for a portfolio CFO-type role with firms you've worked with before seems like an option? Talking to deal team leaders (think Partners) about opportunities they have coming up would be a start, but you're probably not going to be completely away from investing given the PE M&A boom...

A CFO role in a PE-backed company is likely to still be closely involved in investment decisions for acquisitions and minority investments for their portco (or indeed any additional capital raises), especially with the current acceleration of M&A activity - that's what I was referring to.
