When performance breaks,
execution matters.

Portfolio companies rarely fail on the thesis. They fail on execution.

Margin erodes quietly — in scrap rates, in SKUs priced below cost, in changeovers no one is timing, in collections that slip a week at a time. By the time it shows up in the monthly reporting package, the cash is already gone and the covenant conversation is already overdue.

The gap is rarely strategy. It's the distance between what the investment thesis assumed and what is actually happening on the shop floor — and closing that gap requires someone in the building, not another deck.

Every week without control costs optionality.

Liquidity pressure compounds. A missed collections cycle becomes a missed payroll conversation. A minimum-cash breach becomes a lender-mandated forbearance. What could have been a pricing fix in month one becomes a refinancing event in month six.

The first thirty days determine how many options remain — and whether the sponsor is negotiating from stability or from a cash crisis.

An embedded operating partner, not a deck.

DeXM Management works alongside PE sponsors, owners and management teams of manufacturing companies to stabilize cash, rebuild EBITDA, and restore and create enterprise value in industrial and manufacturing companies. We take interim leadership roles, run the diagnostic, and stay through execution — accountable for the outcome, not just the recommendation.

That means sitting with the plant manager on the floor, rebuilding the 13-week cash forecast line by line, and being in the room when the hard pricing and headcount decisions get made.

Cash first. Then EBITDA. Then the system.

Every engagement follows the same disciplined sequence, regardless of sector or geography — because the order matters as much as the actions themselves.

• Days 1–30 — Stop the cash leakage: stabilize liquidity, control cash, and address immediate operational losses.
• Days 30–60 — Improve EBITDA: pricing, procurement, labor productivity, scrap, and throughput.
• Days 60–100 — Build the operating system: KPIs, S&OP, cadence, and accountability that make the gains stick.

Every recommendation is traceable to the data.

DeXM OS is the diagnostic layer behind every engagement — turning ERP, financial, and shop-floor data into a live view of where cash, margin, and enterprise value are actually being won or lost.

• Cash Map — 13-week runway, burn rate, and breach timing
• EBITDA Bridge — reported vs. adjusted EBITDA and the leakage in between
• SKU Map — profitability by product and customer
• Hidden Factory — the operational loss the P&L doesn't show

Built around what sponsors need to protect.

Investment Committees need a credible path back to plan. Lenders need evidence liquidity is under control. LPs need the enterprise value the thesis promised. We report in the language each of those audiences requires — quantified, dated, and tied to cash.

The mandate is the same whether we're engaged pre-close for operational due diligence or post-close for a turnaround: protect enterprise value, and improve the outcome at exit.

20+ years. 30+ engagements. Four regions.

Our Founder has led restructurings, liquidity stabilizations, EBITDA improvement programs, and exit-readiness engagements across the U.S., Europe, the Middle East, and the CIS — in metals, construction materials, extrusion, millwork, automotive, and food manufacturing — with P&L responsibility of up to $520M and leadership of organizations with up to 1,000 employees.
