HCT Executive Interim Management and Consulting

04/15/2026

Recent data shows that 60% of CFOs at health organizations with $15+ billion in revenue stay in their roles for just 2.5 years — or less.

With CFO transitions happening more frequently, organizations face increased risk during leadership gaps: strategic delays, operational uncertainty and added pressure on executive teams.

This is where interim leadership becomes critical. We place experienced financial executives who quickly maintain continuity, support strategic priorities and stabilize operations during periods of transition.

Leadership disruption shouldn't upend your entire organization. We're here to help.

An interim partner might be with your organization for the short-term — but they should be focused on long-term success.

And at HCT, they are. Our thoughtfully placed interim leaders works as an extension of your leadership team. That means understanding your challenges, aligning with your goals and providing support that continues well beyond placement.

Finding interim leaders shouldn't feel transactional. And with us by your side, we can build stronger teams, together. Let's chat about how we can create a lasting partnership.

On World Health Day, we're pausing to recognize the people behind the mission — the leaders, clinicians and teams who show up every day to care for others, often in the most challenging circumstances.

Time off only works ... when your employees actually take theirs.

We're seeing that some healthcare organizations are shifting away from accrual-based PTO models because the time off isn't being used to its full capacity — and moving toward structures that encourage employees to actually rest and recharge.

For example, some organizations opt for a non-accrual-based plan with no cash value, encouraging employees to take that time for their well-being rather than seek a future cash payout.

The proposed results?
✅ Improved retention
✅ Better workforce planning
✅ Healthier teams

When leaders make decisions that have real operational impact, especially in high-stress environments like healthcare, the whole organization benefits.

Leadership transitions rarely happen at convenient times.

More often, they occur doing moments of pressure. Times when teams need stability most, when operations can't slow down or when departments are under intense scrutiny.

That's why our focus is exclusively interim healthcare leadership. We understand what's at stake when your organization is experiencing a leadership vacancy.

Our ability to place experienced leaders in less than three weeks isn't just about speed — it’s about protecting continuity, preserving momentum and helping organizations move forward with peace of mind.

When the right leader steps in, a gap becomes an opportunity for progress.
