Interim CEO – An Introduction
A CEO is the highest ‘ranking’ position within a business. As a result they are responsible for the overall performance of the business. They are responsible for making major corporate decisions and managing the overall operations of the business. Bringing in an Interim CEO is often in response to a Remedial Change in your business structure.
In addition to helping your business adapt to this often sudden change in leadership. You will often require them to communicate effectively with staff and where applicable shareholders. Being a great leader, or CEO, requires the ability to take tough decisions and bring your workforce along to understand them.
Over a longer period of time you may require your Interim CEO to review current strategy, recommend changes and where needed implement them. All of which can be used constructively to ‘lay the ground’ for a suitable long term replacement. As such the Interim CEO role is often one which is used for steadying a ship or achieving a fast turnaround in fortune.

My Validated Relevant Experience
Interim CEO – Leisure Trust
When Covid 19 struck this Charitable Trust needed to find a strategic direction that would enable its survival. Without intervention and direction from the highest level it was likely the charity would fail.
As Interim CEO a new short term communications strategy was put in place. Ensuring that the local community continued to support the business throughout the various lockdowns. External support was also obtained from local councils and businesses.
After ensuring the business had a short term future, there was then a need to secure a long term business plan. Which involved thorough examination of the current position, risks and opportunities to diversify into new revenues streams. As Interim CEO I put together a strategic overview which was presented to the trustees.
This Business Plan is now being put in place with the formation of a new CIC. Alongside this there is scope for expansion of the business and e-commerce. All of which are to be delivered over a 3 month period in early 2021.
CEO – Data and Document Management Company
For nearly 10 years I ran my own Data and Document Management business. This business employed up to 10 people and achieved a turnover of £750,000. As CEO I undertook all of the roles you would expect me to over a sustained period of time. Growing the business from Start-Up (Sole Trader) to its peak was certainly a challenge.
The business focused on Document and Data Management, and created a number of bespoke Reporting Systems.
