Interim Management
Experience is the best partner when circumstances conspire to impose the need for an interim C-level business-building operating executive who can deliver frontline leadership to collaborate with management in addressing operating challenges.
Sometimes a change in management is required but unnecessarily delayed due to the perceived lack of a suitable replacement. And sometimes a crisis develops pursuant to a bankruptcy or receivership or when there is a vacuum created by an unforeseen departure. EGI provides an arsenal of operating managers with catalytic energy to bolster management and boost performance during times of transformation or transition. In cases where company bench strength is thin or a particular skill set or expertise is a smart choice, then an interim EGI operating manager with fiduciary responsibility may be appropriate. Our interim managers can step in to fill a void in an acquisition and assist in recruiting their replacement, bring stability to a company going through an unexpected transition in management, deliver the necessary skills to execute in a crisis, turnaround, or receivership situation, or to keep a business running smoothly through an exit strategy.
EGI’s interim managers have operating experience at the highest levels and in every functional area. Therefore, even while interim, our work is realistic and actionable, thus producing lasting results. The list of our representative engagements indicates the broad spectrum of positions our Advisors have managed.
