A medium-sized automotive supplier from the Sauerland region was looking for an interim CIO to serve for a period of nine months. The focus was not only on managing current IT requirements, but also on strategic development and enabling a smooth transition for the next CIO.
The previous CIO left the company at short notice due to personal circumstances. In order to ensure the day-to-day management of the business, the company management decided to develop an internal candidate to be able to take over as successor. It was important to the company for the interim manager not only to manage the 15 staff members working in the IT department, but also play an active role training the future CIO.
