Interim
A senior executive embedded full-time to bridge a departure, lead a transition, or hold the seat until the permanent hire is in place.
Fractional and Interim Support
Experienced executives, on demand.
The right leader, in the right seat, at the right time, in the right deployment model.
The problem
The work is real. The seat may not be.
You need executive leadership, but the timing is not right or the role is not right. A search is underway. A leader left mid-cycle. The company is between stages. Or the work is real but does not fill a full-time seat.
Waiting has a cost. So does forcing the work into the wrong shape of role to avoid waiting.
What we do
Operators who have already held the seat.
We provide experienced operators — CFOs, CHROs, COOs and other senior leaders — from the Āveran network, vetted and reference-checked before they ever reach you.
They take the mandate, work at a cadence the business can absorb, and either hand it back cleanly or stay on if that turns out to be the right answer.
How it works
A mandate, not an open-ended engagement.
Every deployment starts with a defined mandate: what has to be true when the leader hands it back. That is what the executive is measured against, and it is what tells you when the work is done.
If the answer turns out to be a permanent hire, the diagnosis is already done — the search brief writes itself from what the interim leader learned in the seat.
Four deployment models
Match the model to the need.
Fractional
A C-suite calibre leader at part-time intensity, for companies that need senior judgment without a full-time seat.
Retained Search
The permanent hire. Every search begins with Sync-Align, which aligns sponsor and senior team on the role before recruiting starts.
Project & Advisory
A defined initiative with a clear endpoint — org design, integration, compensation architecture, a function build-out — led by someone who has done it inside a company.
