Interim Roles
We help our clients access the best independent consultants and interim professionals.
Holker Watkin has built a global network of over 4,000 independent consultants to help our clients solve urgent, short-term, and interim strategic challenges. Each consultant has experience from a leading consultancy, such as McKinsey, Boston Consulting Group and Bain & Co. Most have also enjoyed successful post-consulting careers in industry, deepening their expertise before deciding to work as an independent strategy & transformation consultant.
The depth of our candidate network enables us to rapidly find a selection of suitable consultants with the right experience, suited to our clients’ specific needs for the client to choose from. We can supply individual consultants at all levels, as well as full project teams.
