Partnering for Success

We are always pleased to receive inquiries from individual executives desiring information about our company, and who are interested in a possible affiliation with us. We also welcome the large number of inquiries we receive from potential partners such as Private Equity and Venture Capital firms. Whether the scenario is a technology start-up, or a middle market buyout, investment capital must be combined with strong management to have the formula succeed.

One instance that tends to repeat itself is that of a private equity buyout of a closely-held company. A founding executive may be retiring and has no one in his/her family interested in succeeding the managing founder. Additionally, the current management team may not be in a position to commit to a buyout. While LBOs occur quite often, in some instances a cash buyout may occur by the private equity firm, who then introduces a new management team into the business. We may be invited to participate in this scenario due to the depth of our management team, and in addition to strategic consulting, we may be retained to provide an Interim CEO-CFO-CIO-CMO team.

In the world of Interim Management, we are occasionally approached by organizations seeking our assistance in circumstances which are extremely sensitive and confidential. These covert discussions are necessary to maintain the stability, security, and investor confidence of what are often large public companies. Replacing a high-profile CEO or CFO is big news in the financial markets, and can have a positive or negative effect on the company's valuation. But it is equally important for organizations of any size operating in any sector to maintain a high level of confidentiality.

Interim CEO 24/7 has more than 350 professionals located in 100 cities around the globe. While the majority of this group is comprised of former CEOs and CFOs, we also have a large number of CIOs, CTOs, and CMOs. Their backgrounds are impressive, ranging from top-level assignments with Global 100 companies to Silicon Valley start-ups with successful IPOs and highly-profitable operations. Our executives based outside of North America are multi-disciplined and multi-lingual; several have Ph.D's in technical fields with extensive published works.

If your organization has an upcoming need, we would be pleased to discuss it with you.
