Our Services
Nova Satus Partners provides interim C-suite executives to private equity firms, family offices, and mid-market businesses that need experienced leadership immediately. Our services cover the full range of senior executive roles – deployed rapidly, with clear objectives and full accountability.
Interim CEO
When a portfolio company needs strategic direction, operational grip, or turnaround leadership, we deploy an interim CEO who takes full responsibility from day one.
Our interim CEOs have led businesses through ownership transitions, underperformance recovery, rapid scaling, and pre-exit preparation. They align with your investment thesis, communicate directly with the board and investors, and drive measurable progress against agreed objectives.
| Stabilisation | Rapid assessment, operational control, and stakeholder confidence in the first 30 days. |
| Turnaround | Performance recovery, cost discipline, and rebuilding momentum in underperforming businesses. |
| Transition | Leadership continuity during ownership change, acquisition integration, or permanent CEO search. |
| Growth | Scaling leadership for businesses entering a phase of accelerated expansion. |
Interim CFO
Financial control, reporting integrity, and investor-ready governance are non-negotiable in private equity-backed businesses. Our interim CFOs restore confidence in the numbers and build the financial infrastructure the business needs.
Whether the need is to stabilise cash flow, prepare for audit, improve management reporting, or support a transaction process, our CFOs have the experience to deliver under pressure and to investor timelines.
| Financial control | Restoring discipline, closing reporting gaps, and establishing reliable management accounts. |
| Cash flow management | Working capital optimisation, forecasting, and liquidity management. |
| Transaction support | Financial due diligence preparation, vendor data room management, and completion accounts. |
| Governance | Board reporting, investor relations support, and finance team leadership. |
Interim COO
Operational execution is where investment value is won or lost. Our interim COOs take ownership of the operating model, drive process improvement, and ensure the business delivers against its plan.
From supply chain to technology delivery, from people operations to customer fulfilment, our COOs bring structure, pace, and accountability to businesses that need to perform.
| Operational restructuring | Process redesign, cost reduction, and efficiency improvement across the operating model. |
| Scaling operations | Building the infrastructure, systems, and teams to support rapid growth. |
| Integration | Post-acquisition operational integration, combining teams, systems, and processes. |
| Performance improvement | KPI frameworks, management cadence, and accountability structures that drive results. |

| 6. Handover | Structured exit and knowledge transfer to a permanent hire or the next phase of leadership. |
