In phases with high decision-making and time pressure, every minute counts. When key roles in finance, operations, or project management are vacant, implementation becomes a risk—in times of crisis, but also during growth, transformation, or transition phases. In such situations, tailor-made interim and executive search solutions bring targeted leadership experience and implementation expertise to the company. They create additional certainty by clearly anchoring responsibility, driving decisions forward, and confidently involving relevant stakeholders. The decisive factor here is not only the speed of recruitment, but also the ability to actually make an impact in challenging phases. In this interview, Anne Rienecker, head of enomyc's new People Advisory business unit, and managing director Julia Hammer explain how they support medium-sized companies with their services and why even the best interim manager is not a “jack of all trades.
Business resilience is a people decision.
