- On Demand Managers, who perform the on-site element of client assignments, are drawn from our exclusive network of management veterans who have delivered tangible results, both in previous Fortune 500 operating jobs and other small to mid-market companies across different industries.

- On Demand Managers differ from consultants because they assume executive responsibility with a clear mandate to act on the client's behalf. Generally they are over-qualified for the assignments they undertake and have extensive functional and industry experience. Available immediately, their skills will closely match the needs of the client. They are hands-on and accountable to complete the assignment as soon as possible.
- Interim solutions work best when there is a real problem that cannot be solved with internal resources assets and cannot wait for the permanent solution to arrive with the new manager several months later. On Demand Manager can immediately address the issues by involving the right senior manager with the skill-set and industry knowledge to address the particular challenges facing a company.
- Senior executives spanning a minimum of 15 years of significant industry achievement with the skill-set to match the right solution for different size companies. All have particular vertical experience and have successfully managed issues similar to those experienced by the Client.Â
- Many of our executives are financially independent and would like to continue contributing and getting results due to their competitive spirits. They are usually not interested in being involved in long-term projects and like the flexibility of interim and on-demand assignments that match their lifestyles. They are typically well known in their industries and are sometimes brands within themselves with the ability to break barriers to achieve results, utilizing their industry networks and solution providers to deliver the best solutions for our clients.
- We work with public and private companies, private equity sponsors, and non-U.S. companies expanding into the U.S. market. Our industry experience covers a wide range of manufacturing, government and service clients of all sizes.
- Assignments can be as short as three months and as long as 18 months. We also provide longer term fractional executives as needed.
