Build or bolster your interim executive board with proven leaders: Chairs, NEDs, and interim C-suite who provide immediate governance, strategy, and stability. The Hidden Market connects organisations with trusted interim board members who can guide transformation, turnaround, and growth.
Why an Interim Executive Board Matters

Our approach blends AI-powered sourcing with human due diligence to identify board-level leaders with sector fit, situational experience, and the chemistry to work with your exec team.
