The Role
We are seeking a seasoned executive to serve as a seconded CEO of a small-cap public company at an inflection point.

- Assess and stabilize liquidity, governance, regulatory standing and legacy issues in the first 90 days.

- Lead value-creating transactions (financings, asset sales, mergers, Plans of Arrangement or take-privates) alongside our legal and capital markets team.
- 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.
Terms

To apply: Send your resume and a short summary of two or three turnarounds you have led, including the shareholder outcome. All inquiries are confidential.
