An independent benchmark for executive interim leadership
A shared professional reference for context-fit, positioning and fees
Not another ranking or label.
A clear benchmark reference for context-fit, positioning and fees.
The shift
The Benelux interim market is maturing. Boards, CEOs and investors are becoming more explicit about what an interim role must carry and what needs to be true in the context for it to work.
In many assignments, the CV fits. The execution risk sits elsewhere: unclear decision-making, unclear decision space and unrealistic timelines. This benchmark makes those variables discussable earlier, with more precision.
The relevance
The Executive Interim Benchmark provides interim executives with an independent professional reference for context fit.
It connects three elements that are often discussed separately in assignment conversations:
– explicit assignment context (what the situation demands)
– role scope (decision space and pace)
– market positioning (including fees) in the Benelux interim landscape
Together, they clarify what the assignment requires from the role and how that aligns with your positioning in the interim market.
