Leathwaite sets the standard for interim executive hiring, blending agility and speed with the quality, assurance and strategic insight of a trusted consultancy. Whether facing transformation, growth, change, or evolution our partner-led approach delivers swift, high-quality solutions that drive success for both clients and interim leaders, ensuring the exceptional results that others strive to achieve.
Interim leaders are often hired during periods of transition, crisis, or rapid growth. They step in when key executives leave unexpectedly, or when companies face challenges like mergers, restructurings, or regulatory demands. These leaders provide immediate expertise to stabilize operations, manage change, and drive specific initiatives such as post-merger integration or IPO preparation.
But the value of interim leaders goes beyond reactive solutions. Introducing an interim can proactively address underperformance, drive cultural transformations, and provide critical guidance during leadership transitions, ensuring business continuity until a permanent hire is in place or ready to step up.
The right talent for your specific situation may come from unexpected places, and the breadth of our network across multiple industries and geographies allows us to think creatively in sourcing the best candidates. We are fully committed to the success of both our clients and the interims we place, delivering a seamless, high-quality experience from start to finish.
As a partner-led firm, we pride ourselves on being trusted advisors to our clients. Our human-centered approach means we don’t just rely on candidate lists; we engage with people to craft meaningful solutions and resolve complex issues. We work collaboratively, across executive search and interim, to fully understand the challenges our clients face and the results they seek, ensuring we provide thoughtful consultation, not just information.
