Interim Executive Services

Interim Executives bring a wealth of business and leadership experience, and can step in immediately to temporarily fill an unexpected opening on your management team. Interim Executives are ideal for kick starting special programs and projects and can provide valuable mentoring for younger executives. If your firm is involved in a turn around, merger or acquisition, is integrating newly acquired product lines or launching a new product line, establishing a new sales and marketing campaign or implementing a large system, an Interim Executive may be the best solution.

Our Interim Executives serve as interim officers or mid-level managers and present themselves as members of your company to industry analysts, presentation audiences, and customers.

Typical interim assignments last three to six months, fulltime or several days/hours per week. Our Interim Executives are skilled in sales, marketing, human resources and recruiting,CIO/CTO, program and project management and finance.
