InterimExecs has joined the WIL Group (Worldwide Interim Leadership), a strategic move to leverage a global network of expertise. This collaboration marks a significant step in expanding InterimExecs’ reach and service offerings, bringing greater international opportunities to U.S.-based clients and executives.

“We were intrigued to learn about a global organization of interim management firms, and now we can expand our service offerings and collaborate on a global scale,” said Robert Jordan, CEO of InterimExecs.

InterimExecs’ WIL Group partnership comes at a time when the U.S. interim management market is poised for significant growth. As interim and fractional leadership solutions become more widely adopted across industries, the ability to offer global resources will be a key differentiator.

“The U.S. is a strategic priority for the WIL Group and its future growth. The concept of interim management is growing and expanding exponentially in the U.S. and becoming a key business solution alongside management consultancy. For five years, we have looked for the right partner in the U.S. and we finally found it in InterimExecs, Olivia Wagner, Bob Jordan and team,” said Jason Atkinson, Director and Co-Founder Member, WIL Group. “We spent time together in London with Bob during the summer (2024) in order to build trust and ensure alignment with values and value proposition. We wholeheartedly welcome them to the WIL Group.”

When a company is in need of new leadership, chances are the board and CEO are going to enlist a search firm that will comb through the same old group of people in search of that new leader. They will search for someone who has served in that job at a similar type of company and almost always in the same industry.

It’s the way the business world works.

But is it always the right approach? Not necessarily.

Instead, Lloyd A. Perlmutter, a C-suite executive with years of experience leading businesses through exceptional growth curves, says cross-pollination in business — hiring executives outside of the industry — can be the way to get the kind of innovative ideas that spark innovation and disruption.
