An operating partner is a term used by venture capital (VC) and private equity (PE) firms to describe a role dedicated to working with privately held companies to increase value. The role was created by large capitalization Private equity groups and the importance of driving corporate change in building value increased as sellers became more sophisticated and financial engineering less central to Private equity investments in the 2000s ]]. .

They typically focus on strategic planning, commercial growth, operational efficiency and financial controls, and lever their analytical and industry experience to solve problems facing portfolio companies.
