Industry · Private Equity

Portfolio-company operating leaders and value-creation talent for sponsor-backed manufacturing and industrial businesses across the US and Mexico.

Silvia Flores leads private-equity executive search for sponsors backing industrial and manufacturing platforms across the US–Mexico corridor. The work is grounded in operating reality: what the plant, the customer, and the value-creation plan actually need — assessed against the sponsor's clock.

## Situations we support

-   Post-close CEO / COO / CFO placement in a newly acquired industrial platform
-   Value-creation-plan hires — pricing, commercial excellence, operational improvement leadership
-   100-day plan and integration leaders for cross-border add-on acquisitions
-   Country Manager Mexico for a US-based sponsor's Mexico platform
-   Chair, board member, and operating-partner introductions for industrial portfolio companies
-   Distressed / turnaround operating leaders on a sponsor timeline

## The roles

Portfolio-company CEOs, COOs, and CFOs; value-creation leaders for pricing, commercial excellence, procurement, and operations improvement; Country Manager Mexico for US-sponsored Mexican platforms; integration leaders for cross-border add-ons; and turnaround / distressed operating executives on a sponsor timeline. Board and operating-partner searches on request.

## How the search runs

Through [The Dynamic Fit Method™](https://www.silviaflores.info/en/methodology/), Alder Koten's work-first search and evaluation model. Sponsor searches turn on Capacity — can the executive hold the role at the scale and pace the plan will demand — which is exactly what the method surfaces. Connects to the [manufacturing](https://www.silviaflores.info/en/manufacturing-executive-search/), [supply chain](https://www.silviaflores.info/en/supply-chain-executive-search/), and [cross-border](https://www.silviaflores.info/en/us-mexico-cross-border-executive-search/) practices.

## Private-equity search — questions

Why do sponsors work with Silvia?

Because most of the industrial value-creation work in the US–Mexico corridor is really a leadership problem — the plant, the commercial motion, or the cross-border integration is only as good as the operator running it. Silvia's engineering and operations foundation, combined with The Dynamic Fit Method™, is built for exactly that assessment problem.

What kind of portfolio companies?

Manufacturing, industrial, automotive-adjacent, supply-chain, and industrial-services businesses — mid-market platforms and add-ons in the US, Mexico, or both.

How does the sponsor timeline factor in?

Sponsor searches carry a fast, non-negotiable clock — the hold period, the value-creation plan, and the board's patience. The Dynamic Fit Method™ is explicit about Capacity: whether the executive can hold the role not just today, but at the scale and pace the plan will demand.
