A Heidrick & Struggles Company
Standing Up a New Business Unit
A European real estate firm found the perfect CFO candidate to launch the new investment wing of their operation; unfortunately, the candidate couldn’t start for six months. The organization needed someone to both stand up the newer business and also leverage assets, skills, and capital in anticipation of the new permanent CFO.
BTG provided a former CFO of an investment group with extensive experience in real estate and property development. He was able to stand up the CFO function, set up P&L reporting, and provide strategic and commercially informed recommendations to senior leadership.
Supporting Accelerated Growth
An ultraviolet radiation start-up—which has germ-killing, water-purification, and indoor agriculture applications—was growing exponentially and preparing to go public, but the finance and HR functions weren’t ready for the transition.
BTG delivered two senior executives to help: An interim CFO — A PwC alum and former CFO in the renewable energy space to facilitate the NASDAQ audit process, set up public company filling processes, and anticipate financial implications, and an interim CHRO — A seasoned HR executive to establish the required human capital infrastructure and operational procedures.
Filling a Key Leadership Gap
A global asset management company’s CFO was leaving, and the organization needed a strong, experienced interim leader to fill the gap while a search for a full-time hire was underway.
BTG provided an experienced CFO/CAO with roles at leading financial services companies to act as a hands-on financial consultant tackling the day-to-day work leading the finance team while the COO acted as the formal CFO with company officer authority.
Preparing for and Executing a Fundraising Initiative
A biotechnology company focused on plant-based food ingredients needed to develop and execute a strategy for Series B fundraising, but the company wasn’t ready to hire a full-time CFO.
BTG delivered a former private equity partner and finance executive with experience in early-stage development. With the consultant in place, the company closed Series B well over its initial fundraising goal and established a robust financial strategy that allowed for the creation of a permanent CFO position with the ultimate goal of going public.
