Interim
Leadership
Aether has served in several interim leadership roles for clients who have a short-term leadership gap. Aether has provided interim leadership at a utility company, a competitive retail marketer, and a global trading company.
At times the gap is because the company is beginning to launch a new business, while at other times a key manager is being tapped for a new role, leaving a vacancy in the former position.
Aether can step in to provide training and department leadership during the term of the engagement, integrating into the organization. Aether helps clients through the transition period by assuming responsibility for a department on a temporary basis while helping to recruit and train the full-time leader.
