As GA’s “in-house management consulting group”, the Growth Acceleration team is deeply involved across the investment cycle, beginning in diligence (partnering with GA investment teams to evaluate potential investments), and continuing into every stage of value creation (partnering with portfolio companies to achieve their top value creation priorities). Centered in New York, the team supports diligence and value creation projects across GA’s global investment portfolio.
Growth Acceleration Analysts receive focused training and mentorship from day one to learn the core “analyst toolkit” and contribute to a mix of high-priority diligence and portfolio value creation projects within GA’s portfolio (across key practices areas such as go-to-market, pricing, operational efficiency, and AI/data science). They work in small, collaborative teams and gain regular exposure to senior leaders (across Growth Acceleration, GA investment teams, investment prospects, and portfolio companies).
