Interim CEO Available in 2 Weeks

When a CEO seat becomes vacant, every week without a decision maker costs the company. An interim CEO available in 2 weeks lets the board move now: stabilise the team, protect key relationships, and run the permanent search from a position of strength instead of panic.

Why speed matters

Customers, employees, and investors all read a leadership vacuum the same way
Key hires and renewals stall while the seat is empty
Small operational issues compound into strategic ones inside a quarter

What can realistically happen in 2 weeks

Contract agreed and signed, board briefing complete, first week on site by day fifteen. The interim CEO is running the operating cadence and holding one-to-ones with the top team before the search firm has produced a short list.

What the board should prepare

A clear one-page mandate and success criteria
Access to financials and top team as of day one
Communication plan to customers, staff, and investors
A named board contact for weekly check-ins
