Interim Leadership and Management
Every major organizational, strategic and operational change is different, but to achieve success leaders must have unique skills, temperament and experience to steer organizations through significant change, complex restructuring, or even crisis.
CXO Partners are those leaders.
The professionals of CXO Partners have provided executive leadership, advisory and consulting services for more than 5,000 businesses and private equity firms. This work has included scores of IPOs, debt and equity raises, acquisitions, technology integrations, new customer sales and exits with a total value of more than $6B.
CXO Partners bring deep strategic and operating thinking along with the steady hand required in times of change, transition, opportunity, and disruption. Our Partners address big challenges and draw from their hard-won experience as executives who have successfully led multiple, enterprise-level organizations as C-suite leaders.
As C-level operators and consultants, we lead organizations through transformational improvements. We believe that our demonstrated success as strategic and operational leaders within companies — not just consulting to them — is an important distinction between us and other advisory and consulting firms.
Ready in Critical Times
We are focused on providing operating executive professionals and services on an interim basis to established and lower middle market enterprises in software, energy, industrial, business and financial services, healthcare, consumer and retail industry sectors. Our key services include interim management, corporate performance management, strategy and execution, mergers and acquisitions, restructuring and turnarounds, digital transformation and Asset Performance Management (APM) planning and assessment.
The nature of operational and interim executive services is to be effective now. A typical executive search can take up to 6 months. We engage immediately to assess, stabilize and act, leaving well-functioning entities, processes and functions.
Disruptions like failing strategies, executive departures, new market realities, the need to scale, and distress can lock up a company. A CXO Partner interim executive will immediately assess what’s needed, stabilize a situation, provide steady leadership, manage functions and begin to execute a growth plan and/or turnaround.
