Schedule a call How our vetting works

A transformation lead owns the plan, the sequencing and the outcome of a change that touches the whole company. It is a different job from advising on change, and in Greece and Cyprus it usually lands where change is hardest to avoid:

A PE portfolio company after the acquisition, with a plan to deliver
A family business moving from its founder to professional management
An operating model that no longer matches the company's size or strategy
A carve-out that must stand alone from the day the deal closes

The transformation leads on Hellenic Talent are elite professionals from Big 4 firms, top consultancies and senior industry roles. They know a transformation is won in the second year, not at the kickoff, and plan for that from the start.

What does a transformation lead actually do?

Redesign the operating model: structure, governance, roles and decision rights
Run the cost program down to the cost base, not just the easy line items
Sequence the work so the company keeps operating while it changes
Professionalise a post-acquisition company: reporting lines, management rhythm and accountability
Separate a carve-out from deal close to standalone operations
Keep the executive team aligned when the program gets hard and attention drifts

How to choose the right transformation lead

What to test in the first conversation, whoever you end up hiring.

Stayed into the second year
Ran a transformation past the launch and into the year when savings, structures and people had to hold.
Made the hard trade-off
Can describe a moment the program collided with the daily business, the call they made and who they had to convince.
Tracks benefits, not activity
Reports the transformation in realised benefits with named owners, not in milestones completed or workshops held.
