When you need to strengthen your commercial leadership
On the commercial side, pace and activity are crucial. A vacancy here can quickly lead to lost revenue. An interim solution is an effective way to maintain, or increase, the sales pace and ensure that the marketing plan is executed even when the organization is in transition.
Common reasons:
- Vacancy solution: Ensure the sales team has a present leader who coaches and follows up on results during the recruitment process.
- Sales restructuring: Need for an interim sales manager who can establish new sales processes, new channel strategies, or integrate sales teams after mergers.
- Launch and expansion: Temporary specialist competence to take the company into a new market or launch a new product segment.
- Rebranding initiatives: An interim marketing manager leading the work on rebranding or the digital transformation of marketing.
Whatever the reason, we help you secure the right profile and an approach that works in practice.

We combine a strategic analysis of the role’s requirements with a competency-based selection process to provide you with objective decision support that minimizes risks and gives you the right conditions to realize your commercial plans.
By clarifying the actual nature of the assignment, we identify the leaders who have the right experience to steer your business toward defined goals, whether the focus is on profitability, market share, or pure change.
Our decision support gives you full control:
- Commercial context and matching: We analyze the assignment based on your specific market position, the complexity of sales cycles, and your current priorities to ensure the candidate’s background meets your challenges.
- Proven execution capability: Each leader is presented with a reviewed profile highlighting actual achievements from similar growth or change phases.
- Analysis of leadership and culture: You receive our professional evaluation of the candidate’s ability to build trust, create engagement, and navigate your specific corporate culture.
- Honest assessments: We openly report the candidate’s strengths in relation to the role profile and proactively flag areas that require extra focus in the role.

Through measurable results linked to growth targets, market position, and customer relationships.
We place leaders who are accustomed to translating strategy into measurable results and who quickly focus on business impact. This can involve increased sales pace, successful product launches, or optimization of the sales organization to secure long-term profitability.
The interim manager takes operational line responsibility from within the organization, while an agency often functions as an external provider.
An interim manager steps in with a full mandate and responsibility for staff, budget, and results. Unlike an advisory consultant or a specialized agency, the interim manager becomes part of the management team, executing plans and building internal structures and processes that remain within the company.
The fee is based on the role’s level of responsibility and the individual candidate’s seniority.
We apply individual pricing for each candidate to ensure the right profile for your specific needs, providing full transparency in the decision-making process. Since you only pay for actual time and avoid costs for social security contributions and pensions, it often becomes a more flexible, lower-risk solution than permanent employment.

We match the assignment with leaders who have the personal credibility and judgment required to navigate your corporate culture and build strong customer relationships. By focusing on candidates who have already mastered similar challenges, the ramp-up time is minimized and acceptance within the organization is established from day one.
