Blue Ridge Partners' Jim Corey Leads Expert Panel on Value Creation at PEI Forum in London
This year's panel offers deep insights and expertise in revenue generation

MCLEAN, Va., April 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Jim Corey, Managing Partner at Blue Ridge Partners, will share his insights on maximizing value creation through revenue acceleration at this year's Private Equity International Operating Partners Forum at the Institute of Directors in London. The forum, a prestigious two-day annual event set for April 19 and 20, is the premier European gathering of professionals and leaders in private equity.

Blue Ridge Partners is exclusively focused on helping companies accelerate profitable revenue growth

Corey will serve as moderator of an expert panel on day one of the event. The topic, "Maximizing value creation by driving revenue growth and improving sales effectiveness," features Joe Garrood, Investment Director, ECI Partners, Deepak Mishra, Managing Director at Centerbridge and Lisa Stone, Partner at HgCapital.

"This panel will focus on value creation strategies that achieve results by driving revenue growth and sales effectiveness," said Corey. "Cost reduction alone is rarely a sufficient value creation strategy.  The market has shifted to placing greater emphasis on customers, markets and revenue growth strategies.  We plan to discuss the timing and approach for enhancing growth acceleration strategies including boosting revenues through smart market segmentation, adjacent market opportunities, the priorities in channel management, and a range of other possibilities."

The panelists will offer insights based on their significant expertise in creating value and the techniques that yield results in revenue generation. In addition to their discussion of growth challenges and techniques, Corey and the forum panelists will offer specific takeaways in both how and when to identify the company's growth levers – and how to leverage that information to see real results in portfolio performance.
