I would imagine it’s a interview where they ask you to interview a (fake) potential CEO that they’re thinking of bringing on to a new or existing portco. Will be looking for how you interact with a CEO, what kind of questions you ask and what kind of information you can glean from the interview that would determine if this CEO is the right fit for the portco. Could also be an existing CEO of a company you are looking to buy/invest in, but questions are roughly the same.
Would prepare by reading CEO interviews to understand what kind of stuff a CEO thinks about. A lot of PE websites will have “spotlight interviews” with their Portco CEOs which is even more helpful. Look at press releases for new investments too.
Think about what you’d want to know from someone you’re about to invest a boatload of money into and how your shop can best use their skills.
