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.
