WHY CHOOSE INTERIM SEARCH?

Hire an Interim CIO

We are the bridge between companies that need to quickly secure stable IT leadership and optimized information management, and Sweden's sharpest Interim CIOs. Appointing a CIO is crucial for an organization's technical infrastructure, data integrity, and ability to utilize information effectively, and is often urgent. Thanks to our specialized network in IT strategy, information security, system administration, and digitization, the right system support, and proactive search, we are the obvious partner when you need an Interim CIO quickly—and it has to be just right.

Urgency Meets Accuracy: The Right Solution, Fast.

We are available 24/7, 365 days a year.

Situations where an Interim CIO makes a difference

The need for an Interim CIO often arises when immediate expertise is required to secure and develop the company's IT environment and information flows. We are experts in quickly installing the right expertise to lead the IT organization, optimize the system landscape, and ensure information security when your organization is facing:

  • Unexpected vacancy: When your regular CIO or IT manager leaves at short notice and strategic IT planning, system operation, and support must be secured immediately.
  • Transformation & change: For major digitization projects, cloud migrations, IT system consolidation, implementation of new business systems (ERP, CRM), or when there is a need to strengthen information security and adapt IT to new business models.
  • Efficiency & optimization: When IT costs need to be optimized, processes streamlined through IT support, or when data quality and business intelligence capabilities need to be improved for better decision-making.
  • Specific IT projects: During the procurement and implementation of new systems, cybersecurity initiatives, IT infrastructure projects, data migration projects, or compliance projects (e.g., GDPR, NIS2).
  • Crisis and incident management: After a major IT incident, cyberattack, or when existing IT systems do not meet business requirements and urgent measures are needed to restore stability and functionality.
