Interim Director and Interim CEO
As the keystone of any company, General Management is called upon to take up, over the course of the life of an organization, challenges that are as complex as they are varied.
Leading a restructuring, managing a period of crisis, guaranteeing the growth of the business, managing legal, financial, administrative, commercial issues…
In certain exceptional situations, it will be strategic to temporarily outsource this function, by calling on an interim general manager.
At WAYDEN, we mobilize, among our network of ultra-qualified leaders, an interim manager who is able to intervene within the General Management of your organization and respond to your current challenges, whatever they may be.
These true leaders are distinguished by their prestigious careers, their long years of experience as General Manager in a wide variety of environments, and by their many managerial skills and human qualities.
Calling on an interim manager following the departure of a general manager is a solution of choice to ensure business continuity while a new manager is recruited. As head of the management committee, the interim director manages all general management functions. He has a perfect command of each of the organization’s branches, guarantees the growth of the business, implements adjustments if necessary, identifies areas for improvement, etc. It thus creates an environment conducive to facilitating the handover of functions to the new DG.
The Interim General Manager will also be able to assist the General Management of your company during a period of crisis or managerial emergency (closure of a site, management of a subsidiary in difficulty, recovery of the business, facing an unexpected growth peak, etc.). Thanks to his many years of experience in complex environments, the interim manager provides immediate solutions to turn your company around quickly and ensure its sustainability.
Financial and commercial restructuring, internal reorganization, relocation in France or abroad… Corporate restructuring is a decisive step that must be managed skilfully, by a wise professional. Thanks to his external positioning and experience in the management of similar projects, the interim manager demonstrates immediate operational efficiency to meet your restructuring challenges, minimize losses and ensure the smooth running of this major step.
The interim general manager has an overview and an outside view that allows him to quickly identify solutions to optimize or redefine your growth strategy. He will be able to implement adjustments if necessary, and propose new relevant models, in line with market trends.
Whether it’s due to a lack of hindsight or time, or for political reasons, it can sometimes be complicated to apply new ways of operating within a company. The interim general manager will be able to propose agile and relevant management models , and unite your teams effectively thanks to his or her advanced managerial skills, independence, and many leadership qualities.
Every year, we meet hundreds of interim managers. Only 20% join our WAYDEN Selection community. This rigorous selection, based on a Bureau Veritas certified methodology, allows us to guarantee our clients profiles of excellence, immediately operational.
Here’s what sets our interim managers apart:
Our managers have held strategic responsibilities in complex environments. They know how to lead, decide and act in demanding contexts.
Whether it’s finance, operations, transformation, HR, IS or supply chain, each manager is a recognized expert in his or her profession, capable of intervening with impact from the very first days.
Our managers know how to integrate quickly into any type of organization, understand the specific issues, adjust their approach and build trust in the field.
They get teams on board without imposing, mobilize around a clear direction, and know how to move projects forward in contexts that are sometimes sensitive or tense.
Each intervention is focused on impact. Our managers are committed to producing measurable results, quickly visible, and always aligned with the objectives of the mission.
Boldness, pragmatism and agility: our managers share the values that make up WAYDEN’s DNA. This coherence creates a framework of trust and efficiency, which is essential to the success of missions.
In order to accurately identify your needs and the contours of the mission, you benefit from local support from a dedicated contact: Rémi Dessertine, Associate Director at WAYDEN.
