The PROBLEM
Following the departure of its previous leader, the strategic finance team needed a fundamental reset and realignment. The hospital required an interim executive to stabilize the department, oversee daily workflows, and advance critical enterprise projects, including a transition to a new ERP and business intelligence platform.
The Solution
McDermott + Bull Interim Leaders placed a healthcare executive with nearly a decade of leadership experience in decision support and a strong foundation in project management. They provided both steady operational oversight and the strategic drive to move forward major performance initiatives and system transitions.
