Interim CIOs Role In Mergers & Acquisitions and Private Equity
Chief Information Officers (CIO) play a critically important role at private equity (PE) portfolio companies. An interim CIO is often added to a company’s team to navigate a merger or acquisition, implement new systems, or serve as a critical stop gap between incoming and outgoing CIOs. With technology having such a major impact on deal valuations, having the right technology expertise essential to success.
Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) and Private Equity (PE) can move at a really fast pace. Having the right expertise can be important to mitigate risks and issues. Many private equity firms will hire a temporary or “interim CIO” who can come in and handle immediate needs, in the event of a management change.
Reasons to hire an Interim CIO:
- Sudden departure of the predecessor CIO or change in IT management
- Turnaround of failing companies, IT departments and projects
- Transition to a new IT system
- Change in exit strategy – private equity and IPO strategies
- Coaching a successor CIO, or as preparatory to M&A
