Operational Due Diligence · Post-Close Value Creation

Operational Alpha. EBITDA from execution, not financial engineering.

The Lininger Group is a selective advisory and operating firm serving private equity sponsors, investment committees, boards, and CEOs when the value-creation thesis demands an owner in the operation.

Practice Areas

Three practices, one operating discipline.

Every engagement runs on the same Asset-to-Alpha discipline: find what customers actually pay for, instrument the operation, and make winning repeatable.

01 / Cognitive Systems

RevOps & Commercial Intelligence

Revenue operations architecture, commercial analytics, M&A integration, and AI systems built to P&L standards. Pipeline discovery, pricing intelligence, and sales-force effectiveness that convert data into booked revenue.

02 / Physical Systems

Precision Operations & Integration

Operational due diligence, precision operations, and asset integrity across manufacturing and industrial platforms. Hands-on expertise from ultra-low tolerance medical implants to heavy machinery and plant-floor systems.

03 / Energy & AI Infrastructure

Power, Compute & Monetization

From gas turbines and hydrogen systems to enterprise AI at scale, we work at the intersection of the physical assets powering the AI economy and the commercial models that monetize them.

Selectivity

We take few engagements and lead every one personally.

The Managing Partner is directly accountable for every outcome and for the number at the bottom of the P&L. When the work is done, the engagement ends.
