We explain how we identify executive candidates with the right skills and mentality to deliver in crucial portfolio company roles.

Odgers Interim have successfully placed many great candidates with PE portfolio companies. Hardly a surprise, considering we work across more sectors than any other interim provider in EMEA, with deep in-country networks and offices in 19 countries.


We discuss the creation of a new performance body for local government.

The Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities is on the hunt for a chief executive to lead the newly established Office for Local Government (Oflog), a body that will “provide authoritative and accessible data and analysis about the performance of local government and support its improvement.”
