Questions
FAQ on interim CEO cost
How accurate is this calculator?
It gives a realistic range based on typical Italian and cross-border interim CEO mandates. Actual pricing depends on complexity, urgency, industry and travel. The final quote comes after a 30-minute scoping call.
Is the interim CEO fee an all-in number?
Yes. The monthly retainer includes the interim CEO's time and standard travel inside Italy. Extraordinary international travel and third-party costs (legal, tax, search fees) are billed at cost with prior approval.
Do you charge a success fee?
No. The mandate is a monthly retainer with a defined outcome. Success fees create the wrong incentives at the CEO seat.
How does interim compare to executive search cost?
A retained head hunter charges 25 to 33 percent of first-year total compensation, paid up front, with no operator on the ground until the winner starts. An interim CEO is a monthly retainer with an operator running the business from week one.
