Attribution on corporate data covered by confidentiality

As a new fund manager with experience in steering several million of corporate IT spend in the niche I am going to invest, how can I show attribution? Majority of the information (project details, financial info) are covered by confidentiality agreement and cannot be directly shared. 
Any suggestion on at which level I can share quantitative information, acceding to your previous experiences?

Though it's usually difficult to get attribution for your work from your previous employer, you should ask. Otherwise, you can't mention your achievements because LPs will ask for proof during the DD process. In addition, consider speaking with your co-workers to see if they are open to becoming a reference.

The most likely solution here is that you will have to find something else to mention in your secret sauce in your thesis.
