Charlesbank Selected to Private Equity CXO’s 2025 List of Top Private Equity Firms for Executives

Boston, MA – March 13, 2025 – Charlesbank Capital Partners (“Charlesbank”) is pleased to announce that it has been selected to Private Equity CXO’s (“PE-CXO”) 2025 list of Top 50 Private Equity Firms for Executives. The annual report spotlights those firms that prioritize supportive governance and engagement to create an environment that enables their portfolio executives to succeed.

“We are honored to receive this recognition and believe it underscores Charlesbank’s commitment to building supportive and enduring partnerships with management teams,” said Michael Choe, Managing Director & CEO of Charlesbank. “Going back to our roots investing for Harvard’s endowment over 25 years ago, our entire business system has been designed around being dedicated partners to teams seeking strategic and operational support in growing their businesses. We take great pride in helping our portfolio executives thrive, and we deeply value the trust they place in us.”

The Top 50 report is created through a collaboration between PE-CXO, the largest community of private equity-backed executives, and Falcon Partners, a leading executive search firm exclusively serving private equity firms and their portfolio companies. Selections were determined by the first-hand insights of executives in the market, one-on-one interviews, and a survey of thousands of sponsor-backed executives based on PE-CXO’s Nine Dimensions of Governance Fit®, a strategic framework for sponsors and executives to use during mutual diligence for strategic decision-making and performance improvement. Fund performance and size were also important considerations.
