Jamie Nascimento in Funds Europe: Breaking Private Equity’s Operational Paradox

Jamie Nascimento, Co-Founder of LemonEdge, was recently featured in Funds Europe with an opinion piece examining a structural contradiction within private equity.

In “Breaking private equity’s own paradox,” Jamie highlights how an industry built on rigorous risk assessment and value creation often remains conservative when it comes to modernising its own operating infrastructure. While investment strategies have evolved significantly, many firms continue to rely on spreadsheets and fragmented legacy systems to run increasingly complex fund structures.

The article explores how this reluctance to modernise introduces unnecessary operational risk, lengthens reporting cycles and absorbs valuable time from highly skilled finance professionals. As regulatory scrutiny increases and investor expectations around transparency rise, these constraints become more pronounced.

Jamie argues that operational technology should be assessed with the same discipline applied to investment decisions. Treating the back office as strategic infrastructure, rather than administrative overhead. This in turn enables firms to improve data integrity, reduce risk and scale more effectively as complexity grows.

This perspective reflects LemonEdge’s core belief that strong, unified data foundations are essential for private markets firms looking to operate with confidence today and build resilience for the future.
