Jeremy Scharf
Strategic Partner to Leaders | Former Bain | MIT MBA
Hi, I'm Jeremy. I partner with CEOs, founders, and other senior leaders to help them crack their highest priority questions, augment strategic decision making with analytical rigor, and build better companies. I've partnered with dozens of executives as both a coach and more tactical strategic partner. Prior to that, I spent four years at Bain & Co. and earned my MBA at MIT.
I'm open to a fractional/freelance role as a strategic partner or chief of staff. If my skills or experience sound appealing, I'd love to connect!
Work
Bain Private Equity Group
https://www.bain.com/I spent ~10 months in Bain's Private Equity Group driving due diligence efforts across software, healthcare, and other industries. I have extensive experience building market models, generating customer insights, and developing points of view on investment opportunities.
Platform Rollup Diligence
I worked with the CEO of a company to diligence the feasibility of a platform rollup effort. Our efforts resulted in a clear recommendation against rolling up companies providing similar services due to market dynamics and lack of target companies fitting criteria.
Pharma Go-To-Market
I worked directly with the CEO of a biotech startup to map out the key elements of his company's go-to-market strategy. My insights included takeaways from interviews with potential customers and industry competition, and secondary research. It was representative of my due diligence work with Bain, but focused on GTM versus investment decisions.
