About EIM Australia

The firm was founded in 1988 as a joint venture between leading executive search firm Egon Zehnder International and the Dutch Consulting Group Boer and Croon who pioneered our unique concept of interim management more than thirty years ago.

Today, we are an independent global partnership backed by the experience of over 10,000 assignments worldwide.

EIM Australia was formed in 1991 and has completed over 700 senior assignments.

EIM puts experienced interim executives in place to lead change. Our EIM interim managers assume various responsibilities, including CEO, CFO, CTO, COO, HRD and other senior leadership appointments within one week. These individuals are prepared to replace or supplement your existing management team, working seamlessly across national borders if required.

We believe in people

We believe that – in a business that is changing rapidly – people make the difference. They are the ones who find the opportunities to adapt to the changing environment. They are the ones who drive innovation. They are the ones who realise the transition.

We believe in solutions through people

At the worst possible moment, you need the best possible executive: to digest an acquisition, to face a sudden crisis, or to conduct reorganisation. All of these circumstances can mean that conventional management may be unavailable or unwilling to do the job. The issues at the heart of these exceptional moments require exceptional abilities. We understand that, if you are in such a situation, you need this person quickly. That’s the reason why our founders were the first to combine these two elements in 1988.

Exceptional moments require astute solutions. We deliver executives with the quality of executive search firms, at the speed of consultants. We are the inventors of interim management. We deliver value through people.

EIM recognises that in most cases, client organisations are already going through, or about to experience, profound change. It is therefore imperative that the highest standards of professionalism, clarity of purpose and commitment are maintained in every interim management intervention.

Accelerating the rate of change without increasing operational risk is key. The EIM approach enhances the effectiveness of clients’ management teams. We achieve this by using a unique project management process that fosters interaction between our client, the EIM Interim Manager and the EIM Director.

All these elements contribute to a fast, reliable and flexible leadership solution that brings immediate value and lays the foundation for the future success of EIM clients.
