OP Talent Network

CONNECT WITH THE BEST.

Bass, Berry & Sims’ operating partner database—the OP TALENT NETWORK (OPT-N)—is a robust resource connecting healthcare-focused private equity funds to highly-accomplished talent with experience across the healthcare spectrum.

This resource has proven successful for PE funds seeking experienced operating partners, independent directors, management executives, and consultants who can drive value and growth for portfolio companies.

OPT-N: CONNECT WITH CONFIDENTIALITY & CARE.

For PE funds, searching for the right operating partners is a critical and potentially daunting task, often limited to existing networks and by the constraints on time and resources.

Likewise, potential operating partners are typically limited to the few inbound inquiries they may receive with little opportunity to cast a wider net for interesting opportunities and partnerships.

With a laser focus on adding value to our middle-market healthcare private equity clients and executives—and a deep commitment to managing the process with complete confidentiality and care—we set out to make this easier for both private equity funds and potential operating partners.

CONNECT

The OP Talent Network is intended to connect healthcare-focused private equity funds with highly experience individuals available to drive operational value and growth for portfolio companies.

NETWORK

By joining the Network, operating partners will gain access to exclusive events, panels and forums through BBS Connect at the annual J.P. Morgan Health Care Conference and other major healthcare events.

CURATE

Private equity funds will be able to curate, with Bass, Berry & Sims' assistance, customized, confidential searches for the perfect matches to meet your specific needs.
