What you're up against

The quarter is the unit of trust
Miss the Net Income walk once and the questions start.

FAQs
The questions public company operators ask most
Quadrillion Partners is an operator-led performance improvement firm running 90-to-180-day value sprints for PE-backed and public companies. Sprints come in four types: Digital & AI, Go-to-Market, Throughput, and Working Capital. Senior partners take interim line roles (COO, CIO, CFO, Chief Transformation Officer) and own the EBITDA, cash, or growth target the sprint is built around. The firm has delivered $1.2B+ in enterprise value across PE portfolio and public company engagements. Headquartered in Southlake/Plano, Texas.
The big strategy firms recommend. Quadrillion delivers. Senior QP partners run sprints from inside line roles (Interim COO, CIO, CFO, Chief Transformation Officer) and own the EBITDA, cash, or growth target the engagement is built around. Sprints run 90 to 180 days, not multiple years. Outputs are captured value, not decks. PE sponsors typically use strategy firms for diligence and QP for value capture post-close. The two play different roles and frequently coexist on the same asset.
Operating partners sit at the fund and cover the whole portfolio. They are stretched thin and rarely able to embed in one company for 90-to-180 days. Quadrillion supplements operating partners with surge capacity tied to a defined sprint outcome. Operating partners set the thesis. QP runs the play. Sponsors typically engage QP when an asset needs a specific value capture program (EBITDA, working capital, or growth) that requires dedicated operator bandwidth the fund cannot supply internally.
Staffing firms place a single executive into a seat and bill hourly. Quadrillion places a senior operator with a sprint methodology, a delivery team behind them, and accountability against a defined EBITDA, cash, or growth target. The engagement is structured as a 90-to-180-day program with milestones, not an open-ended placement. Pricing is fixed-fee per sprint, not hourly. The difference shows up in who owns the outcome: a staffing firm owns the placement, QP owns the result.
A value creation sprint is a 90-to-180-day operator-led engagement built around a specific EBITDA, working capital, or growth target. Quadrillion runs four sprint types: Digital & AI (productivity, data, AI tooling), Go-to-Market (pricing, sales productivity, channel mix), Throughput (operations and manufacturing), and Working Capital (AR, AP, inventory). A senior QP partner takes an interim line role for the duration, with a delivery team behind them. Sprints can run in parallel or be sequenced based on the value creation thesis.
A Digital & AI sprint is a 90-to-180-day program targeting productivity gains, data infrastructure rationalization, and AI tooling adoption inside a PE-backed or public company. Common scopes include ERP/CRM consolidation, AI-assisted workflow automation across finance and operations, data platform redesign, and IT spend reduction. A senior Quadrillion partner takes the Interim CIO or Interim Chief Transformation Officer seat and owns the EBITDA or run-rate cost target. Outputs are deployed systems and captured savings, not roadmaps.
