Executive interim

Since reaching France over 20 years ago, executive interim management has become a leading business transformation tool. 

Executive interim management is particularly well-suited to complex, unstable or uncertain situations because it boosts agility, allowing companies to seamlessly address a wide range of challenges. This solution involves temporarily, and often urgently, handing the reins of an organisation (department, branch, subsidiary or company) to a fully operational external executive. 


Whether you’re looking to improve performance, expand abroad, successfully roll out strategic projects, restructure, or manage a crisis, Grant Alexander can help! Whatever your challenges, industry, or position to be filled, we have the right person for you.

When to consider executive interim management

We are prepared to fill any executive position in any department in three situations which require a rapid response.

TRANSFORMATION

If your company is experiencing rapid growth, significant reorganisation, demerger, divestment, recovery or any other type of transformation, executive interim management can provide positive support by delivering effective operational change management.

RELAY MANAGEMENT

When a member of your executive or management committee or any other key executive is absent for any reason, it exposes your company to a certain number of risks. To mitigate them, you can rely on an experienced interim manager to temporarily take on the key role.

OPERATIONAL CONSULTING

When the stakes are high, a senior interim executive can provide operational mentoring and support for an executive or manager.
