CEO and General Management

General management, including Managing Directors and CEOs, makes up one of the biggest areas of activity for Impact Executives. There are many varied reasons why great organisations decide to look to interims at the very top of their businesses.

Requirements for interims in general management

The following are examples of just a few assignments our general management interims have successfully completed:

• Interim MD to help stabilise a business after a merger and the departure of its previous MD
• Interim COO managing the refurbishment of a major public housing scheme
• Interim CEO to manage the post-merger acquisition of two businesses in Germany
• Interim CEO to manage the transition from the founding CEO and also manage the subsequent sale of the business
• Interim CEO to manage non-performance of a recently acquired business
• Interim CEO for a private equity-backed acquisition requiring turnaround
• Interim CEO for a large government agency requiring a change in strategy and direction
• Interim MD to manage the closure of a factory and relocation of plant and equipment to another site

A big call, an easy win

It may seem like a bold decision to get an interim to run one of your businesses, but a quick look at the economics of interims and a few moments consideration of the cost of inaction and it becomes an obvious choice.

An interim CEO can also assist in the recruitment of, and smooth transition to, a permanent replacement, ensuring a seamless integration that minimises business interruption.

Because we know our people so well, we also understand their expertise and talent. Most of our core general management interims have completed more than one assignment for our clients, so we can be confident that they will be happily assimilated in even a tough environment and deliver what is asked of them.
