Interim Leadership

Are you between leaders and in need of steady leadership during a transition?

Do you need an experienced interim leader who can step in quickly, maintain momentum, and strengthen the organization while you search for permanent leadership?

Interim Leadership:

Effective interim leadership provides continuity, clarity, and momentum during periods of transition:

1) activating stability and alignment by stepping into senior leadership roles quickly and credibly – anchoring teams, priorities, and decision-making

2) educating with intention by building shared understanding of goals, context, and constraints while strengthening systems, programs, and cross-functional collaboration

3) motivating sustained progress by advancing key work with fresh perspective – while providing steady continuity, context, and background that support a successful leadership transition

The result is continuity with intention—ensuring the organization is well-positioned for its next chapter of leadership.

Brian Bragg, Chief Mission Officer for ZERO Prostate Cancer, assessed:

"Few contractors or consultants bring the leadership and impact Debbie Fink delivered. Stepping in as Interim Vice President of Patient Programs and Education during a complex transition, her contributions to ZERO and her passion for patient advocacy will provide a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve well into the future.

“During her time with us, Debbie brought her experience in education, community outreach, and program development to strengthen our patient support initiatives and educational programming. Her collaboration with the Marketing & Communication team helped secure the participation of Allen Houston, Dwight Eubanks, and Ernie Johnson, Jr. for our annual Virtual Education and Support Summit: an unprecedented mix of pop culture, sports, and clinical research for a signature ZERO event on a new, cutting-edge platform.

“Debbie has been a thought partner on the Mission team in exploring how to develop and deliver more impactful programs and resources to (and with) more partners in our growing constituency. Personally, I want to thank Debbie for her commitment to inclusion and accessibility. It will help us better serve all members of the ZERO community moving forward. I hope to work with Debbie again."
