- Recruit and onboard the permanent CEO, and deliver a clean handover.
Qualifications
- 10+ years of senior executive experience, including prior CEO, COO or CFO service at a public company.
- Proven turnaround, restructuring or special-situations track record.
- Strong command of public-company governance, disclosure and capital raising.
- Decisive, direct, calm under pressure, and comfortable with a defined end date.
