For funds and investors
After the deal, value is created in operations: Krymax brings operating-partner direction inside portfolio companies, not theory. Strategy, structure and control to protect and grow value all the way to exit.
Your challenge
You have closed the deal, but the return is decided afterwards. Portfolio companies often lack a solid governance structure, reliable KPIs and the operating direction needed to move margins at the speed your horizon demands. The risk is staying hostage to the incumbent management, discovering problems too late and reaching exit with a fragile equity story. You need fast operational impact, real control of the holding and a clear path from the first hundred days to the sale, not another advisory report that ends up in a drawer.
How we step in
We come in as an operating partner alongside your deal team. In the first days we build the 100-day plan with priorities, owners and measurable value levers. We set up a control cockpit with the KPIs that truly matter, so the board sees performance in real time and decides on facts. Where needed, we place interim executives to cover key roles without losing time. We bring AI onto the margin, automating where it generates cash. Every intervention has an explicit value target, tied to your investment thesis and to the exit.
Why Krymax
We are a Swiss boutique of executive and operational advisory: direction, not theory. The spine is always the same, strategy, structure and control, and it is led personally by Ing. Massimiliano Moreni with Swiss rigour. We speak the language of the fund: value thesis, timing, governance and discipline of the numbers. We work inside the company, next to management, owning the outcome and not just the recommendations. For you this means a single trusted figure who turns the investment thesis into concrete execution, reduces operational risk and prepares the exit.

Fractional CEO/COO & interim
A Fractional CEO or COO brings senior executive leadership into the business for a critical phase, on a time-boxed basis: growth, transition, reorganisation, entry into a new market. Not a consultant who recommends, but a leader who decides, aligns the team and delivers results. Operational within weeks, not months.

Strategic direction & governance
We give companies, scale-ups and groups a direction that holds up in the boardroom and in front of capital: from strategy and the industrial plan through to an investor-ready business plan and capital structuring. Not theory, but executable decisions delivered with Swiss rigour.

Do you work on a single portfolio company or the whole portfolio?
Both. We can take on a specific company with a focused mandate, or standardise governance, KPIs and value levers across several holdings in your portfolio.
How quickly will we see results?
The 100-day plan sets priorities and levers from the first weeks. A fund horizon demands speed: we work for measurable margin impact within the first quarter.
How do you use AI in value creation?
We apply it where it generates cash and frees margin, across processes and control. More than 50 per cent of private equity firms now use AI in portfolio operations (source McKinsey and EY).
