An interim executive is an experienced senior leader who temporarily takes ownership of a business function, initiative, or transition. Rather than only advising the team, they help make decisions, set priorities, manage execution, and create accountability. They are commonly brought in to stabilize a function, accelerate a strategic project, cover a leadership gap, or prepare for a permanent hire.
