Welcome to the Launch! This network is Free to all qualified interim executives worldwide.
Because you are not alone! We know most of you operate solo or with a couple of partners or a small team. And we know most of you are so busy with assignments and clients that you have very little time to actually market your own services. Most of you have minimal online presence, no search engine optimization, no search engine marketing program to speak of.
So this network is a resource for you--for client development, team development, professional development.
Why join your colleagues here? Three big reasons:
1. Increase your revenues by attracting more clients to you.
2. Expand your capabilities by building up your own team.
3. Further develop your professional expertise.
JOIN NOW (click here) so that clients can contact you...and so you can connect with other talented execs when you need to bring in more resources on your assignments, and can help other execs ADD YOU TO THEIR GIGS when they need additional resources.
Watch soon for news about the International Association of Interim Executives, a new organization affiliated with interimCEO/interimCFO, and also aimed at serving this growing group of business leaders worldwide. The Network and the IAIE will be announcing a series of conferences coming up Fall 2009.
Comments? Great ideas?
Send them to network publisher Elias Crim at: elias@interimceo.com.

First profile of top exec “hired guns” published by interimCEO/interimCFO Network
Until recently, not much data had been collected on this growing group of C-level executives-for-hire and how they work.
The first detailed picture of this group—often thought of as “hired guns” brought in to fix a problem—has just been published in a white paper by interimCEO/interimCFO™, an international network for top-level executives who work on demand.
As to what kinds of assignments interim executives take on,… Continue
