In this episode, we’re giving you a special preview of the local podcast we host out of Vaco’s office in Steel City, The Leadership Café.

Helping businesses find creative solutions to any challenge has long been one of Vaco’s specialties. One of the most interesting scenarios is when companies need help finding experienced financial executive leaders at a moment’s notice to cover capacity or capability gaps within an organization. Known as an interim executive, these veteran leaders have a significant amount of experience leading through times of change. On this episode we’d like to share more about hiring executives on an interim basis – the ideal scenario, the best strategy, the ideal candidate – and how they can deliver day-one value. Joining for today’s discussion is Monica Foster, veteran C-suite recruiting expert and managing director for Focus Search Partners’ interim executive services practice.
