ABOUT SYNENTÉ
Vamsi Tetali
Founder & CEO
Synenté advises private-equity sponsors on executive appointments, management diligence and succession. Vamsi conducts the assessment and works directly with the people making the decision.
Experience assessing CEOs and CFOs
Vamsi brings more than a decade of leadership advisory work and nearly 1,000 executive assessments across his career, the majority involving CEOs and CFOs of private-equity portfolio companies.
He developed Narrative Vector to understand leaders as developing systems: how their thinking, motivation and capabilities have taken shape, and how that pattern may meet the demands of a new role.
His perspective also draws on building software products and running a software company. He is the co-author of two Harvard Business Review articles, published in 2017 and 2018.
Working with Synenté
Work directly with Vamsi
Vamsi conducts the assessment and discusses his conclusions with you. When the findings challenge your view of a candidate, you can work through the evidence with the person who reached that judgment.
Expert peer review
Every Synenté assessment receives expert peer review. We examine the reasoning behind the recommendation, including evidence that complicates it and uncertainties that could matter to your decision.
Respect for the executive
The executive may become your next CEO or remain part of the team after an investment. We approach the assessment with that relationship in mind. An optional feedback call gives the executive a candid account of their strengths and development needs.

How we handle assessment information
Client and candidate assessment data are not reused for research or other client engagements, including after anonymization. We minimize retention of information that is no longer needed.
