Mark Kirkbride’s Summary

The fast moving pace of technological innovation means change is a guaranteed part of any progressive business; most critical is the way change is managed and its overall effects on the business. Some of the most significant issues that executives face include business transformation, business process change and changes in organisational design and development.

With relationships with many of the worlds leading businesses we are exceptionally well positioned to support organisations at any stage of their lifecycle and provide the resources required to achieve strategic objectives. With further strategic relationships with Banks, VC’s, PEI and global Consultancy firms; Interim Partners supports M&A, integration, consolidation, restructuring, turnaround and other critical chnage programmes. These unique partnerships also mean we understand the challenges linked to decreased spending, new leadership strategies and industry convergence.

Although based in the UK our experience and strength of delivery has also enabled us to support change on an international level. We have successfully supported recognised businesses across several continents.

I have significant experience in resourcing change led assignments, and provide senior and executive level interim managers across a number of disciplines; including board level appointments.

We are well known to a number of recognised businesses who have recently undergone major investment, transition and change programmes; and I am happy to provide a number of references on the work we have completed, and demonstrate how we can help your business or career both now and in the future.
