Interim CRO in Milano, Italy
Full-time interim revenue leadership for a defined period: stabilise the number, fix the commercial engine, and hand over clean, in Milano and across Italy.
When an interim CRO is the right decision
An interim CRO exists for the moments a company cannot wait: a sudden departure of the commercial leader, a growth engine that has stalled, or a revenue system that needs to be rebuilt before the next round or exit. The mandate is full-time operating ownership of the number for a defined period, with board accountability from week one, not a caretaker placeholder.
What changes in the first ninety days
- An honest read of the pipeline, the forecast, and the commercial team
- Sales, marketing, and pricing aligned into one revenue plan
- A demand engine reset around pipeline and conversion
- A forecast the board can trust and a plan the team can execute
Engagement model
- Defined scope, typically six to twelve months
- Full-time operating ownership of the revenue function
- Compensation linked to outcomes, not optics
- Direct line to chair, sponsor, or board
- Clean handover to the permanent CRO agreed upfront
Why me
I have owned the commercial number as CEO and CMO and rebuilt revenue engines under pressure. Endurance is not a metaphor for me, it is how I work. Based in Milano, working across Italy and Europe. Tell me the problem and I will own the outcome.
