Hire an interim COO in Greece and Cyprus

In many Greek and Cypriot companies the operations seat has never existed: every operational decision runs through the owner. An interim or fractional COO takes it for a period, with the operating rhythm, the processes and the second line of management. The need usually looks like one of these:

• An owner who cannot step back because every decision still needs them
• A fund's value creation plan that needs an operator to execute it
• A scale-up that outgrew its processes, with growth now costing more than it earns
• A departure in the middle of a busy season or a system change

The interim COOs on Hellenic Talent are elite professionals who have run operations as managing directors and operations directors of consumer, food and industrial groups, and as operating partners in portfolio companies. They know the usual starting point here: a thin management layer and an owner who has to be persuaded to let go.
