A UK publicly quoted Software Company had purchased a French subsidiary, which was subsequently merged with its existing local operations.

However, sometime subsequent to the departure of the ex-owner, it became apparent that the new organisation did not possess the expertise and management leadership skills necessary to transform the company’s performance. In addition a combination of critical commercial, administrative and logistics issues were severely affecting profitability and required urgent attention.

At very short notice, NIM sourced a Country Manager who not only had specific experience in a relevant industry sector, but in addition had also built a similar subsidiary operation for an Anglo-Saxon company in a related market.

After presenting a short to medium term objective plan to the UK management team, the Interim executive assumed day to day responsibility for operations, bringing stability and leadership to the situation and implementing agreed short term objectives aimed at regaining profitability within the financial period.
