OUR COMPANIES
INTERIMEXECS
When companies are growing quickly or are struggling to operate at their full potential, we parachute in interim, part-time, or project based executives to help tackle big opportunities or challenges. Having screened thousands of executives around the world, we match companies with the top 2% of change agents who can help them strategize and implement a plan.
RED VENTURES
What keeps you up at night? Money? Company or product launch? Working with your investors, or board? Leadership challenges? How to exit? We work with companies and entrepreneurs to bring together all of the elements -- from financing to leadership -- that make big goals like spinoff, exit, product launch, or expansion a reality.
