Many interim executives are well-placed to take on non-executive, growth advisory, mentoring or coaching roles after a career leading and accelerating change.
They often start in growth and improvement advisory roles, helping to guide management teams of rapidly growing companies. Holdsway offers an immediately available network of these executives to add immediate experience to the leadership teams of emerging, small and fast-growing businesses when they need access to an experienced independent advisor.
Non-Executive Directors (NEDs) are hired because of their breadth of experience often combined with specialist knowledge which provide the board with valuable insight. They will usually stand back from the day-to-day running of a business, collaborating with the executive team to support and facilitate strategic decision-making.
In an earlier stage business, an NED acts as a versatile and entrepreneurial mentor to the board. Accessing such experience can be an invaluable way to fast-track a business through its growth cycle or help the board manage change.
Mentoring and coaching new board members is also in demand. Interim executives’ experience of working in a wide range of companies gives them an invaluable perspective from which to mentor younger executives.
