-Thomas Edison
HAPPY EXECUTIVES, HAPPY CLIENTS. THERE IS NO OTHER WAY.
Companies don’t call us because everything is going peachy. They call because there is frustration with something or change is needed. We focus on bringing in leaders who approach your business as if it’s their own, getting their hands dirty and inspiring and coaching others to ultimately take your organization to a better state. See a sample of how the RED Team is making a difference:
$50M Family Owned Manufacturer
After two years of decline and $6M in losses, the owners of this California-based food packager had ceased manufacturing. An Interim CEO jumped in, restarted operations, and returned the company to profitability within 12 weeks.
"We were without a CEO, with a very demoralized staff, and were spending more than we brought in. No one in the board room knew what an interim was, but it was the perfect solution."
Randi Zemsky
Tourette Association of America
Portfolio Company of $3B Private Equity Fund
With an outlook to exit one of their portfolio companies in the next year, Arsenal Capital brought in an Executive Chairman to maximize the value of the company, coach the CEO, and ultimately lead the company to point of sale.
"The investment in an interim has proved to be paid back and then some. The company has been profitable and the potential for new markets are close-at-hand."
Chris Caratan
Owner, Family-Owned Manufacturer
Economic Subdivision of Native American Tribe
The enterprise arm of the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma saw that a few businesses within their 20 company portfolio were struggling. We deployed an Interim CEO to lead the restructuring effort, expand the executive team and put controls in place.
"Imagine asking your auditor to file on time when 14 days before the filing deadline the Board fires the CFO for malfeasance. The level of trust was enormous, but the Interim CFO pulled it off.”"
Board Member
Public Software CompanyHealth and Fitness Training
As a fast growing company, Freeletics needed help putting process and systems in place. We brought in an Interim CTO to lead the technology team, instill agile methodologies, and help the company continue to scale at a rapid rate.
"You did everything you promised. You identified a couple of candidates very quickly. You arranged for the interviews immediately and followed through. I would certainly use your services again."
Founder
$2.4B Petrochemical CompanyNon-Profit Health Association
When the CEO left Tourette Association of America, staff was demoralized and the office was in chaos. An Interim CEO stepped into develop a long-term plan, stabilize departments and finances while hiring a permanent replacement.
"I knew there was a type of executive that is really good at turmoil. Someone who could come into a broken organization. And that led me to InterimExecs."
Tony Bavuso
Board of Directors, Vision Share
Non-Profit Eye Bank Consortium
The CEO exited, and the board brought in our veteran Interim CEO to develop a long-term plan, stabilize departments and finances while hiring a permanent replacement.
"You did a lot of the work for us so that we know we’re getting a quality candidate. From the minute he showed up it has been nothing but a steady move toward a really bright future."
Chief Doug Lankford
Chief, Miami Tribe of Oklahoma
“For company owners looking to achieve fast growth, the first thing is to look internally and be honest with yourself about where the company is at, what is the strategy, and where is it falling short.”
-Damon Neth, Interim CIO

EXECUTIVE DEPLOYMENT SERVICES
> INTERIM MANAGEMENT
Executives jump in when change, transition or transformation is needed. Assignments range from 3 months to 2 years, and the interim often trains an internal candidate, helps recruit the permanent replacement, or grows the company to point of exit.
> FRACTIONAL EXECUTIVES
Executive takes a leadership role as needs demand, providing services to companies on a part-time basis. This especially gives organizations that do not yet need or have the resources for a full-time executives, access to top talent for a fraction of the cost.
> PROJECT-BASED LEADERSHIP
When permanent management lacks bandwidth or capability to complete initiatives, executives provide support in projects from global expansion, to technology transformation, process improvement, mergers and acquisitions, and product launch.
> PRIVATE EQUITY EXECUTIVES
PE funds bring in executives to professionalize operations in a portfolio company, put reporting and process in place, grow revenues, prep for sale, or integrate acquisitions. Assignments may be longer (multiple years) to align with the fund’s plan for exit.
NOT SURE WHAT YOU NEED?
You know you have an issue or challenge, but aren’t sure how to best solve it.
In many cases companies begin with an operational roadmap, where an executive provides a clear assessment of the business, prioritizing areas of improvement and defining a path forward to reach your goals.
