Ropella's Interim Executives are highly qualified leaders who are ready to step in on short notice - within 24-48 hours - and begin contributing on their first day. Their placements are temporary, typically 3 to 6 months.
Although Ropella matches you with an executive in our network, the Interim Executive is your full-fledged employee during this period. They are there to manage through change, rather than to consult or advise, and are thus fully accountable for their results. (They can even help with selection and onboarding of your permanent hire, if you need that assistance.)
There are several situations in which utilizing an Interim Executive or Consultant can be beneficial to an organization
Interim Executives:
- Filling the gap when a critical position is unexpectedly vacated

- Providing guidance and stability through a period of organizational change
