Templewater’s governance model is designed to promote accountability, perform fast decision-making, choose best practices, and empower portfolio companies’ CEOs, while also allowing informal and creative free-thinking.
The model is built upon clear roles and responsibilities for the management of the portfolio company, its board, and Templewater. It is underpinned by a forum (usually the Company board / IC board / Advisory Council) that enables smooth communication, transparency, and efficient governance
The forum consists of a responsible advisory partner at Templewater, an expert from the Templewater Network which also sits at the board, the portfolio company’s CEO, and investment professionals seconded by Templewater to the portfolio company. Working closely together, the forum is a sparring partner to the CEO and keeps Templewater well-informed of the performance in the portfolio company. This informal forum also creates good relationships among the involved parties and helps to drive value creation in an aligned and effective way
Through participation programs, the board and select management team members are invited to invest in the portfolio company, creating a joint agenda and common goals
