In Latin, Adiuvo means "to help". That is our simple mission. After a decade of helping build businesses in private equity, Scott Darby founded the firm to help support executives and investors in our network. The firm neither markets nor solicits business but instead works purely from referrals. Being CEO or Chairman of a business or board is challenging, and their greatest need is often a sparring partner with best practice pattern recognition who can help them navigate teams, investors, business transformation, and the marketplace. Our client partners receive honest and transparent advice with their best interests at heart. We celebrate success together.

Previously, Scott led portfolio value creation efforts focused on market-leading software, enterprise technology, and impact investments across four funds at TPG. In his roles, he underwrote deals and executed business-building efforts in more than a dozen companies, partnering closely with deal teammates and company management teams to build healthy thriving businesses in both buyout and minority investments. In addition to portfolio transformation, he focused on specialized due diligence, board service, deal sourcing, and building TPG’s scaled operating capabilities around functional playbooks and executive best practice sharing across 120+ companies and more than 350 executives.

Before TPG, Scott held senior operating roles with Vista Equity Partners, Forcepoint, and AT&T. Scott and his family are also passionate about serving inner-city children, partnering with nonprofit organizations around the world on mentoring, necessities provisioning, and education programs to help students and families of diverse backgrounds thrive.
