Interim Management
Interim management for CEO and CMO transitions across Italy and Europe, with full operating ownership for a defined period.
What interim management is for
Interim management fills a senior gap with an operator who can lead from the first week. It suits founder transitions, integration work, and underperformance that the existing team cannot reset. The interim leader owns the outcome, not a holding pattern.
Where interim leadership adds the most value
- Founder-to-professional leadership transitions
- Post-acquisition integration that needs a steady hand
- Performance resets that the current team cannot deliver
- Bridging a permanent search without losing momentum
How the mandate runs
- Defined scope agreed with chair, sponsor, or board
- A diagnostic in the first thirty days
- Operating cadence and accountability restored
- A documented handover to the permanent leader
Why this reduces hiring risk
- Senior leadership in place immediately, not in three months
- An honest read of the team early, before commitments harden
- Measurable progress against a defined plan
- A clean exit on agreed terms
