WHY HIRE AN INTERIM EXECUTIVE?

Given the disruption and emerging skill sets across the healthcare ecosystem, established and early stage companies often have short term interim executive needs for a variety of reasons. We have filled that role for more than 100 organizations in our 14 years of business using our internal resources and our affiliate relationships with seasoned executives across the healthcare industry. Best practice in this arena suggests the use of an interim executive in many circumstances, but we believe these areas have the potential for the greatest value:

• Involuntary resignation for cause

• Unexpected voluntary in a key strategic arena

• Unforeseen marketplace shift

• Constraints on cash for top tier full time resource

• Succession plan is not in place

• Downsizing and refocusing is a strategic imperative
