​Building on The Barton Partnership’s whitepaper exploring the role of the Chief Transformation Officer (CTrO) in Private Equity, and marking our first podcast of 2026, Nicholas Barton sat down with Roy Perticucci, a leader who has spent his career transforming some of Europe’s most iconic digital and retail businesses.

Roy brings an exceptional track record spanning software, operations, e-commerce, and large-scale transformation.

Here, Roy shares his perspective on the genomes of CTrOs, the factors that most influence successful transformation delivery, and how CTrOs can continue to grow their careers, inside and beyond transformation.
