The Global Capability (GCC) Multiplier

Executive Summary

In the current high-interest environment, Private Equity firms are pivoting from traditionalcost-cutting to Value Creation through operational excellence. What started as a simple cost-efficiency play evolved into a strategic growth model: the Global Capability Center (GCC). The legacy model, characterized by massive, junior-heavy teams in India, is obsolete now. As Generative AI automates a growing share of transactional and repetitive work, the economics of offshore delivery have fundamentally changed. Value is no longer created by scaling large, junior-heavy teams, but by building smaller, senior-led GCCs that accelerate decision-making, product velocity and operational impact.

By moving externally delivered capacity to owned in-house capabilities in Mexico, portfolio companies can achieve a 60% reduction in OpEx while institutionalizing critical IP. Thistransition directly inflates EBITDA and drives Multiple Expansion at exit. Backed by a mature technology ecosystem and true nearshore integration with U.S. operating teams, Mexico-basedGCCs are becoming the preferred operating model for U.S. enterprises building scalable, high-impact internal teams.

This paper explores how building owned global talent capabilities (particularly in Mexico) driveslong-term enterprise value, operational resilience, and scalability.
