Interim CHRO Urgently Needed for Professional Services Portco

A PE firm managing director came to us with a critical need for an interim CHRO for their professional services platform. Combining three companies to make the platform, the firm urgently needed a PE-grade interim head of HR to deal with contracts, advise future state systems, reconfigure benefits plans, help them migrate off their PEO and stand up their own HR function, and more. Closing on the platform in the upcoming week, the managing director quickly needed to fill this role with an interim who had industry expertise, previous experience with M&A and PE-backed middle market companies, as well as the ability to execute the needed tasks at a high level.
