How long can we use interim leadership?

Engagements range from three to nine months depending on your search timeline. We scale up or down as needed.

What if we decide to hire our interim leader full-time?

That is possible. We design flexible agreements that allow for transition to full-time employment if both parties agree.

Can you run multiple functions at once?

Yes. We often cover development, operations and executive leadership simultaneously through a fractional team.
