Our Approach
A Broad Bench with Depth.
The executives on our team have extensive management experience in private equity and venture capital portfolio companies, as well as other middle market private held and publicly traded companies. As a result, we are a proven resource that can be looked to for immediate leadership in everything from general operational or financial management to driving specific initiatives including strategic planning; execution of strategy; operations, capital structure and reporting improvements; liquidity event leadership and support; and sponsor coordination as appropriate.
Our terms are flexible, and our engagement solutions are always customized to match our clients’ requirements and preferences. We can respond quickly and thoroughly to identify and deploy the ideal interim professional on a full-time or part-time basis, and we can arrange monthly, daily or hourly compensation. Our executives are not merely competent; they are exceptionally talented, highly respected, and proven.

Business Transition Leadership
It’s inevitable: your business will evolve.
We provide management transition services to ensure your company has the leadership it needs at all times. Our interim executives rapidly integrate within your management team with the strategic insight and expertise to address key initiatives as well as on-going operational responsibilities while we concurrently perform an executive search for a professional who meets your strategic needs.
Organizations in transition are organizations at risk, and the risk is greatest when key personnel departures are unexpected. E78 Partners provides continuity for clients experiencing financial or operational management vacancies. Our professionals with deep experience spanning operational and financial C-suite and Board positions are able to make an immediate contribution—maintaining business momentum.
Our clients include privately-held and publicly-traded businesses experiencing virtually any type of change or evolution, including the following:
- A leadership vacancy
- Rapid growth and scalability challenges
- Acquisitions and integration
- JV structuring and implementation
- Domestic or international expansion
- Preparation for sale or recapitalization
- Equity or debt financings – public or private
- Unacceptable business risks
- Restructuring/Turnaround
- Operational and margin inefficiencies
- Divestiture management
- Generational transitioning
Interim Executive Leadership
Accelerate key initiatives. Improve competitive positioning. Reduce risk.
Our interim executive leaders focus on companies in transition across every market and industry. Leadership vacancy. Rapid growth and scalability challenges. Acquisitions and integration. JV restructuring and implementation. Domestic or international expansion. Preparation for sale or recapitalization. Equity or debt financings. Unacceptable business risks. Restructuring. Operational and margin inefficiencies. Divestiture management. Generational transitioning. Our solutions are transformative and scalable.
Most interim engagements are designed to culminate with a permanent hire. One month into the engagement, our interim executive will share observations about the role with you and, with your approval, with our in-house Executive Search team for purposes of building the ideal candidate specification. A search can then be launched to identify top candidates in the marketplace to fill the permanent position. After the final candidate is selected, 2-4 weeks of overlap with the interim executive would be built into the plan to allow for a seamless transition.

A leadership gap in any business is a risky situation, and resource constraints can hinder progress on critical initiatives. Rapid growth, resignations, reorganizations, acquisitions, and regulatory changes can create an immediate need for executive leadership to help ensure your business will continue to meet its strategic and financial goals.
