Interim Director. Kiedy firma go naprawdę potrzebuje, a kiedy to strata pieniędzy.

Read (in Polish) →Interim Director · Interim Sales Manager
I join the organisation and take responsibility — for sales, marketing, customer success or the entire commercial area. Fast diagnosis, order in the processes, strategy implementation. With a decision-making mandate, not in an advisory role. And I prepare the company for the moment a permanent leader is ready — or the structure starts working without one.

Who it is for
Recruitment will take 4–6 months. The pipeline won’t wait. You need someone from Monday.
That is a sign the problem is not the person but the system. I come in to fix the system — and hand it over to a successor.
The founder steps out of operations, a new board comes in, the investor wants order. You need someone neutral, with experience.
You have someone promising, but it is too early for the role. I run the department and prepare them to take over.
How it works
I step into the role from day one: team, pipeline, processes, customers. The first decisions come quickly, because I know what to look for.
Priorities, sales process, forecast, meetings that produce something. People decisions if needed — after talking to the board.
I lead the team and own the numbers. A transparent weekly report to the board: what works, what doesn’t, what I am changing.
I help recruit or prepare a successor. I leave when the structure works without me — that is the measure of success.
Formats
Mandate and accountability. A consultant advises, and someone else makes the decisions. An interim has a position, a team, a budget and owns the result. If something doesn’t work, it is my responsibility — not “a recommendation that wasn’t implemented”.
A minimum of 3 months — below that nothing can really change. Typically 4–8 months. The goal is always the exit: when the successor is ready and the system works without me.
From €12,000 net per month, depending on scope and level of involvement. For comparison: the cost of six months without a head of sales is usually a multiple of that — in lost pipeline, people leaving and wrong decisions.
Sales, marketing, customer success, business development — separately or as the whole commercial area (CRO / Commercial Director). I don’t cover finance, IT or production.
Hybrid. The first weeks mostly on site — the team has to see me. Then we set the rhythm to suit the company. Base: Gdańsk, Poland; I work across Poland and remotely with teams elsewhere in Europe.
