Help me with my future plan: 1) PortCo CFO with a CEO I trust and mesh well with or 2) continue searching for a lateral into another fund as a VP. I will be looking for a new role in the summer either way.

What’s the outlook for the portco ? Does that have a real path to profit for you?

CEO has not identified the target, but would be ~250m EV with the goal of rolling up to $500m+ in 3 to 5 years.

I would be CFO and Corp Dev through the process with equity and comp that matches my current pay scale.

Same type of companies I would work on in PE, but operator vs investor.

Matters what you see as a long term career. Do you want to make MD at a PE or do the PortCo CFO path. My sense is that the equity payout on a business that size won’t be enough to retire. But you can easily go be a CFO at another PortCo.
