Capstone

Capstone is a team of executives who work exclusively with KKR portfolio companies as an integral part of the value-creation process. Capstone executives are senior, high-impact professionals who are often involved in every phase of a transaction - from the initial due diligence to the implementation of operational-improvement and strategic-development initiatives.

During the early stages of a KKR investment, Capstone's work with portfolio companies reflects the initial thesis for value creation, and its executives may address issues related to top-line growth, cost optimization, and capital allocation efficiency. In most cases, this work also involves developing actionable metrics for tracking progress and identifying problems early. Over time, Capstone's work with portfolio companies shifts to challenges and opportunities that arise during the life of an investment.
