Strategic Partner Review

---

Align alliances. Uncover risk. Strengthen value creation.

In today's interconnected business environment, third-party partners—from suppliers and logistics providers to technology vendors and marketing agencies—can significantly influence a portfolio company's performance and scalability. At Marenovum Partners, we help private equity firms assess the strategic value, risk exposure, and operational fit of key partnerships across their portfolio.

Our strategic partner review services provide a clear, data-backed evaluation of external relationships, with a focus on alignment with business objectives, financial efficiency, and risk mitigation. We look beyond contract terms to assess actual performance, interdependencies, and scalability, ensuring each partnership supports long-term value creation.

We work closely with operating teams to:

• Identify and prioritize critical partners across functions and geographies
   
• Evaluate partner performance against KPIs, SLAs, and strategic goals
   
• Assess financial impact, pricing models, and potential cost savings
   
• Uncover concentration risk, compliance exposure, and business continuity vulnerabilities
   
• Recommend renegotiation strategies, partner consolidation, or re-sourcing
   
• Develop partner governance models to improve accountability and collaboration
   

Whether as part of due diligence, post-close optimization, or ongoing portfolio support, our partner reviews enable investors and executives to make confident decisions about which alliances to deepen, revise, or exit.

By bringing structure, transparency, and strategic perspective to partner management, Marenovum Partners helps drive operational excellence and protect investment outcomes.
