Before naming a C-level title, clarify what your company actually needs
A top-level placement is rarely just a staffing question. Depending on the situation, an interim CxO for the transformation phase, a digital advisory board member for strategic support, or a permanent hire each carry a different speed and risk profile. As part of the FOSTEC & Company group, we bring these options to the table before a full-time position gets advertised.
What the mandate requires, before the personality
We clarify the mandate on three levels before assessing personality:
C-level positions we fill
VP / Managing Director E-Commerce
Owns the digital business end to end and drives strategic development at board level.
Chief Digital Officer (CDO)
Embeds digital transformation into strategy, organization, and the leadership team, beyond e-commerce alone.
Chief Financial Officer (CFO)
Manages finances, cash flow, and forecasting, often in growth- and transaction-related situations in a private equity context.
Interim CxO
Takes on leadership responsibility on a temporary basis during transformation, growth, or restructuring phases, effective immediately.
Digital Advisory Board Member
Supports executive management and shareholders with digital expertise, without requiring a full-time hire.
What sets our C-level placements apart
Digilents is part of the FOSTEC & Company group. For C-level placements, that’s our real differentiator: we bring permanent placement, interim mandates, and digital advisory board members together from a single source, assess fit based on genuine consulting experience, and validate the match through thorough diagnostics.
A confidential conversation about your leadership question
Before you advertise a C-level position, let’s clarify which arrangement will actually move your company forward.
