Interim CROs

When the survival of the organization is at stake and things have reached crisis proportions, traditional chief restructuring officers are a solid option and best fit. A CRO immediately brings credibility and objectivity to the restructuring process, while stabilizing the ranks and quickly devising a plan to lead the turnaround.

Confidence builders and skilled communicators, they bring deep financial and industry-specific experience. This allows them to identify the root cause(s) of under-performing organizations, and to work in concert with CEOs to transform organizations from the inside out using strong strategic and negotiation skills.

Janet Liang, COO of Kaiser Permanente's Northern California region, will move up to president of the sprawling region in August 2016.
