Value Creation the Private Equity Way (Part 2)
This week, we're talking to Peter Russell-Smith about the evolving role of marketers, particularly in sustaining growth. We talk about the relationship between the CFO and the CMO, we get stuck into a bit of theory with the ANSOFF matrix when we discuss market share, but first, we continue talking about marketing's role in due diligence.
