Send us a text "RAISE CAPITAL LIKE A LEGEND: https://go.fundraisecapital.co" Here is the truth: most Private Equity CEOs fail within their first 18 months. It is not a test of intelligence; it is a test of speed to value and execution. The first 100 days are the make-or-break period where a new CEO proves their fitness, secures board alignment, and lays the foundation for exponential value creation.  If you are stepping into a PE-backed CEO role, hesitation costs money—literally, as capital is always compounding. Your job is to survive your first three months and thrive. In this essential CEO survival guide, Ryan Miller, breaks down the exact 100 Day Playbook used by top PE operating partners and successful portfolio company executives.  Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTOe79EXLDsROQ0z3YLnu1QQ Connect with Ryan Miller: Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rcmiller1/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/makingbillionspodcast/ X: https://x.com/_MakingBillions Website: https://making-billions.com/ [THE HOST]: Ryan Miller is a recovering CFO turned angel investor in technology and energy.
