About Us
DRAX is the talent partner of The LCap Group, a global, tech-enabled leadership advisory firm supporting ambitious, high-growth companies and private equity investors. The Group specialises in risk, talent, and development through its three specialist brands: Confidas (management due diligence), DRAX (Leadership advisory and executive change), and Peoplewise (leadership assessment & development).
DRAX works with many of the world’s most successful private equity firms and their portfolio companies. We partner with investors throughout the deal lifecycle, from early-stage planning and leadership evaluation to executive change and long-term value creation.
With more than 140 professionals across the Group, we bring investors and business leaders the market intelligence, leadership data, and advisory capability they need to outperform the market and drive meaningful growth.
Our work spans Leadership Advisory, Deal Advisor Sourcing, and Executive Search, all underpinned by a deep understanding of what makes leadership teams effective.
There is a science to building successful leadership teams. It comes down to the behavioural breadth and depth of the team, combined with the right blend of experience and context. That’s what enables businesses to scale, adapt, and succeed.
We deliver sharp, actionable insights that shape critical decisions. Whether we’re drawing on the experience of a former Chair or CEO to develop investor conviction, or assessing a team’s capability against their own investment hypothesis and value creation strategy, we help our clients uncover the key factors that will enable them to achieve their goals.
Our strength lies in deep sector and functional expertise, brought together by a unified, advisor-led approach. Above all, we’re focussed on the experience of our clients and the leaders who we interact with focusing on impact ensuring our clients have the clarity and intelligence needed to unlock long-term value.
