Claybourne Group is an operating advisory firm. We work alongside management on the things that only change when somebody stays until they do.
Connect With Us →Our people have run the functions they advise on — plants, practices, portfolios and P&Ls.
Sponsors, family offices and holding companies with operating assets to improve.
Partnerships facing growth, merger or generational change.
Product organizations where engineering capacity has become the binding constraint.
Plants, networks and the logistics between them.
Institutions balancing mission against a budget that no longer balances itself.
Multi-site provider groups and the businesses that supply them.
We are hired to change something, not to describe it. Every capability below ends in an implemented result.
Hands-on work with management on cost, throughput and the handful of processes that everything else waits on.
Independent assessment ahead of a decision — commercial, operational and organizational, sourced first-hand.
New locations, new lines, and the first four quarters after an acquisition, which is where most value is lost.
Reporting lines, spans of control and the succession bench, designed to survive the next transition.
Ravenscourt Partners is a privately-held global advisory and investment conglomerate with operations in 40+ countries. The Group's portfolio spans strategic services, capital deployment, and operating businesses across sectors — held together by a long-term, founder-aligned philosophy.
Claybourne Group is an advisory firm working across the Americas, Europe and Asia Pacific. As part of Ravenscourt Partners, we pair international reach with senior teams who stay on site — the work is done with your people, not presented to them.
Our work is partner-led, conviction-weighted, and built around a small number of engagements at a time. We do not pursue volume. We pursue outcomes the principal can name three years later.
Tell us the problem in your words. We will tell you honestly whether we are the right firm.
Short pieces written during engagements rather than after them. Occasionally revised when we turn out to be wrong.
Six offices across three continents, each led by a partner who takes the work personally.
