Interim Managing Director and Strategy Consultant for Your Company

We typically present you with suitable experts within 24 to 36 hours of your request. This also applies to high-caliber profiles such as an interim CEO for an ongoing growth phase, an experienced post-merger integration consultant, or a specialized go-to-market strategist. This is possible because we draw on a curated network of immediately available, independent experts—no lengthy recruiting processes, no compromises on quality. During our initial conversation, we’ll work with you to clarify your situation, the urgency of your needs, and the specific requirements for the role.

External experts in the field of strategy and management consulting are typically engaged when internal capacity or specific expertise is lacking: when developing a new corporate strategy, entering a new market, during a post-merger integration, in the midst of an operational crisis, or when preparing for corporate succession. Even when an interim CEO or COO is needed to fill a leadership gap on short notice, or a board advisor is required for strategic decisions, external support is often the fastest and most effective solution. We help you determine the right timing and identify the appropriate candidate.

Professional qualifications are a basic requirement for us—but the key factor is the fit with your company. When matching candidates, we take into account your corporate culture, the stakeholder landscape, your leadership style, and the specific context of your challenge. A crisis manager in a restructuring situation requires a different profile than a growth consultant in a scaling phase. During the briefing meeting, we systematically assess these dimensions so that we only propose profiles that are truly a good fit—both professionally and personally.

Our experts take on genuine operational responsibility—they are not external observers who simply make recommendations and then leave. Whether as an interim CEO guiding a company through a crisis, a managing director building a new market unit, or a chief of staff coordinating strategic initiatives—the focus is on implementation and measurable impact. We work with you to clarify the exact scope of responsibilities before proposing suitable candidates.

Both models are well-established in strategy and management consulting but operate on different principles. An interim manager—such as an interim CEO or COO—assumes a leadership role with full decision-making authority and responsibility for a team or unit. A freelance consultant—such as a strategy consultant or business development manager—works on a project basis, contributes expertise, and assists in developing solutions without bearing direct leadership responsibility. We’ll determine together during our initial conversation which model makes more sense for your situation.

The more precise your briefing, the faster and more accurate our matching process will be. It’s helpful to provide details on the strategic context and specific challenge, the role you’re seeking and the desired scope of responsibility, the timeframe and availability, relevant stakeholders and the company culture, as well as industry-specific requirements or special conditions. If you don’t know all the details yet, that’s no problem—during our initial consultation, we’ll guide you through the relevant questions in a structured way and work with you to develop a clear role specification.
