A vacant CMO seat shouldn't put marketing on pause. I step in full-time for a short period to hold the course, structure priorities, and prepare a clean handover to the future hire.
Companies whose CMO just left, or going through a critical phase (funding round, leadership change) with no marketing leadership in place.
Express diagnostic of priorities and ongoing projects, starting week one.
Hold the course on strategic projects, reassure teams and partners.
Clarify the real scope and expectations for the future permanent CMO, not the theoretical job description.
Document, transfer, and support the successor's arrival during their first weeks.
Full-time engagement, 3 to 6 months, timed to the hiring process for the permanent CMO.
Covering the first 30 days.
Ongoing projects and priorities documented.
Realistic, for hiring the permanent CMO.
Transfer to the successor.
30 minutes to assess urgency, scope, and the likely length of the transition.
