Mandate 01↗
COO, on call.
Interim or fractional leadership - transformation, growth, or turnaround. Sat inside the business until the work moves.
Interim · Fractional
Operator. Not
consultant.
Altiva is engaged when the strategy is sound and the growth is there, but the organisation is not moving. One senior operator, inside the business, until the situation has shifted. No juniors, no slide theatre, no distance.
§ I.PracticeSix mandates
The work, plainly stated.
The call usually comes when a transformation programme is not landing, a COO seat is empty, a post-acquisition plan needs structuring, or a cross-border expansion is hitting operational limits - typically when internal teams are capable but stretched, misaligned, or lacking ownership.
The difference
Altiva is not a consulting firm and not a freelancer network. It is one senior operator, engaged personally, carrying real P&L experience into rooms that need it. Results are delivered on operating reality - commercial impact, organisational capability, transaction readiness - not on deliverables.
