In this episode of FP&A Unlocked, hosts Paul Barnhurst and Glenn sit down with Tim Stalkamp, Senior Managing Director of Interim Management at Riveron, to explore how interim leadership is evolving from gap-filling to value creation.

An interim CFO. An interim Controller. An interim FP&A leader.

But the most forward-thinking boards see it differently.

They're not replacing leadership. They're strengthening it.

When growth stalls, transformation slows, or critical projects need momentum, bringing in specialized expertise can accelerate results without disrupting the existing team.

The goal isn't to change who's leading. The goal is to create value faster.

The strongest organizations recognize that temporary expertise can unlock permanent impact.
