Interim Management

When companies lose key executives during a financial crisis or turnaround, it takes focus and leadership to avoid distractions, maintain momentum and successfully execute the business strategy. Because Fort Dearborn Partners works side by side with management teams, we are well-positioned to step in and fill the management and leadership void under these difficult circumstances. Over the years, our seasoned professionals have assumed a variety of interim management positions—everything from acting CEO and CFO to Chief Restructuring Officer during bankruptcy proceedings. We act with urgency to:

Execute your business strategy;
Communicate progress to all stakeholders;
Represent the company in efforts to raise capital or restructure debt;
Negotiate acquisitions or divestitures;
Work with owners to identify new management candidates, and support them during their transition process.

When financial crisis threatens a company's viability, Fort Dearborn Partners can step in and oversee operations until a new CEO is retained or the enterprise is sold. In the role of crisis manager, we develop and implement strategy and make the difficult day-to-day business decisions that impact current performance and valuation.
