Typical entry points

When to pick up the phone.

  • “Our CTO is leaving — we need a credible bridge for the next 12 months.”
  • “The plant is bleeding cash — give us an operator who has stabilised one before.”
  • “We just acquired a target and the synergy plan is slipping. Send someone who has lived PMI.”
  • “The PortCo lost its GM — bridge the seat until the search is done.”
