Enhancing Deal Success: PROPHET Supports Advent International's Deal Teams with Data-Driven Insights and Collaborative Development
Summary:
Advent International was founded in the U.S. with the vision of becoming the first global private equity firm. Today, it manages $93.5 billion in assets and employs over 320 investment professionals. PROPHET collaborated with Advent’s deal teams, profiling approximately 130 deal specialists to enhance high-performing team dynamics and collaborative behaviours throughout the deal cycle. The goal was to strengthen relationships with businesses through mutual respect, transparency, and trust—values that underpin Advent’s long-standing partnership model.
Use cases
As part of the deal team development program, PROPHET was used to support the right behaviours and relationships across the deal cycle.
Challenge
Given that investment professionals value data-driven insights and clear, actionable recommendations, PROPHET provided a structured, evidence-based approach to developing deal teams.
Solution
Around 130 team members, spanning all levels of seniority, received Individual PROPHET Profiles. Team insights were then integrated into the broader development program to reinforce effective collaboration.
Results
By delivering a fast, data-led approach, PROPHET helped deal teams refine their strategies for building successful partnerships with portfolio companies.
