Uncovering Value.

Private equity success hinges not just on dealmaking, but on post-close value creation.

The window for impact is shorter. The pressure is higher.

The firms that win are those that embed deep, act fast, and uncover value where others don’t look.

Born in the Trenches,
Built for Impact

Our firm’s foundation is decades of experience leading complex operational initiatives inside PE-backed companies. That background gives JAI a unique ability to anticipate pressure points, align quickly with PortCo teams, and translate strategy into results — faster and more credibly than traditional consultancies.

We lead from within, not from the sidelines — trusted by PE sponsors to execute cost and margin plays across healthcare, logistics, and field services.
