Maintaining Momentum
In higher education today, leadership teams need three c's: consistency, calm and confidence. Even amid leadership turnover, WittKieffer helps institutions achieve all three by leveraging interim executives. We provide experienced, impactful interim leaders who bring direct, relevant experience to keep your institution moving ahead, especially in times of change or challenge.

The need for interim leadership often arises unexpectedly. When it does, organizations need leaders who can get up to speed rapidly, engage with teams empathetically, navigate ambiguity, understand their industry, and propel the organization forward efficiently—despite ongoing market, financial, or operational pressures.
WittKieffer helps clients make timely, sound decisions to close short-and longer-term leadership gaps, support existing leaders, or increase capacity to support shorter-term objectives. Interim leaders can serve the role of executive, expert consultant, business or operating advisor, or strategic project lead, dependent on client needs and desired outcomes. Our interim and on-demand leaders integrate seamlessly with our clients’ operations and cultures to make immediate contributions, rolling up their sleeves to get things done.
We are responsible and resourceful—two qualities that fueled our success as the premier executive search and leadership advisory firm serving the Quality of Life Ecosystem for more than 50 years.
