Interim CHRO Case Studies
Transforming the HR Function
The CEO of a global insurance company had been through four CHROs in as many years and needed to re-evaluate the structure of the corporate HR function.
BTG deployed an interim HR leader who worked closely with senior executives to understand strategic objectives. Then, she performed a detailed diagnostic of the company’s HR service model, identifying key performance drivers and relevant benchmarks.
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 HR and finance functions weren’t ready for the transition.
BTG delivered two senior executives to help: An interim CHRO — A seasoned HR executive to establish the required human capital infrastructure and operational procedures, and 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.
Leading HR for a Carve-Out Acquisition
A global private equity firm was working on the carve-out acquisition of an undervalued pharmaceutical business, and it would take time to find the right lead for the new company’s HR.
BTG provided an HR executive with over 20 years of experience setting the HR agenda for rapid-growth life science companies. Over the course of four months, she assumed responsibility for the management of all HR operations. After a full-time CHRO had been located, she stayed on for an additional two weeks in a part-time advisory capacity to help ease the transition.
Filling an HR Leadership Gap
A global financial services company was expanding its HR team and already in the process of hiring a head of total rewards when the company’s head of compensation and benefits resigned.
BTG provided a global comp and benefits executive with extensive HR experience across the financial services industry. With a capable leader at the helm, the head of talent was able to freely focus on the hiring process for both open positions.
