Interim Management
Maintaining momentum is critical when C-level leadership transitions take place as a result of new challenges, opportunities or executive turnover. The performance of the business and the interests of boards, customers, employees and other stakeholders must all be managed effectively. For decades, senior, experienced FTI Consulting professionals have joined the management teams of global companies on an interim basis to help them achieve fundamental change. Since we’ve sat on both sides of the table — as C-level executives ourselves, and in supporting our clients as advisors — we’re uniquely equipped to fill the full array of C-suite and functional leadership roles.
In transitions, restructurings, and turnarounds, our functional and industry management experience helps provide stability, maintain momentum, preserve and enhance value, and support recovery and renewal. Our clients rely on our interim executives’ skilled, experienced leadership, turnaround and restructuring skills to capitalize on opportunities, contend with C-level turnover and drive strategic transactions.
