Interim Management in the Healthcare Sector – Expertise for Critical Transitions

Nowhere is agility more essential than in the healthcare sector. Rising cost pressure, strict regulations, digital transformation, increasing demands on care quality, and a shortage of skilled professionals are placing ever-greater demands on organizations across Pharma, MedTech, Hospitals, and Care Facilities. Interim management offers a flexible, high-impact solution.

Experienced interim executives lead restructuring processes, stabilize operations, fill leadership gaps, and inject fresh momentum into strategic projects. They are quickly available, operationally effective from day one, and make decisions with clarity and independence – free from internal structures and conflicts of interest.

Whether managing complex change initiatives, implementing digital systems, meeting regulatory requirements, or improving clinical quality – interim managers bring the necessary leadership and expertise to deliver measurable results.

From a financial perspective, interim management is efficient: engagement is project-based, with no fixed costs related to recruitment, onboarding, or long-term contracts. Internal teams are relieved at precisely the moment when resources are stretched, and demands are high.

Interim management also strengthens organizations sustainably – through execution strength, knowledge transfer, and the targeted development of internal teams. For many healthcare organizations, it has become a key success factor in an increasingly complex environment.

Our Interim Management Partners, Kim Soldtwedel and Corana Bertsch, bring deep expertise in operational structures and processes – even in highly challenging situations. They offer strategic guidance in defining precise role requirements and identify interim leaders who align professionally, personally, and culturally with your organization. Throughout the entire project, we support you with commitment, entrepreneurial thinking, and creative, solution-driven collaboration – reliable, proactive, and on equal footing.
