In executive interim management, restructuring is regarded as the supreme discipline because it combines the highest level of technical expertise with exceptional leadership skills and a consistent ability to deliver results. Few other management disciplines involve such high levels of time pressure, accountability for results and complexity.
As leading reference in Executive Interim Management, Valtus and Valtus Alliance have established a global network of restructuring experts and restructuring managers. Our headquarters are in Paris, with subsidiaries in the UK, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Austria, Italy and Switzerland. In addition, we rely on network partners in Argentina, Austrialia, Belgium, Bulgaria, Brazil, Canada, China, Colombia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, India, Italy, Japan, Korea, Latvia, Lithuania, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Romania, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Slovakia, South Africa, Spain, Turkey and the United States.
We can support our clients on a national and international level in critical situations:
1
Provide a turnaround manager in another country, for example if corporate head office needs management capacity for a foreign subsidiary. If required, our managers can also take on board functions and formal Directors’ Duties, in order to officially and legally represent the company. We can support our clients on a national and international level in critical situations.
2
Assemble a team of professionals with the required know how, for example if a private equity firm needs an international team of finance, operations and human resources managers with experience in restructuring and post-merger integration.
3
Consolidate disparate operations in one central location and implement shared service centers in Eastern Europe or South East Asia.
4
Restructure existing supply chain operations and identify new partners in order to replace existing ones.
5
Advice and information for clients facing complex national and international challenges, for example to connect with the best lawyers and consultants in the field of restructuring.
