The new offering, led by recently appointed Partner Shannon Gabriel, aims to provide experienced operational leadership for private equity clients and manufacturing companies undergoing strategic transformation.
EFESO Management Consultants, an operations strategy and performance improvement firm, has introduced an Interim Management service in North America. The offering is designed to place experienced executives into companies, particularly within the manufacturing sector, to guide them through periods of change or performance improvement initiatives.
The service will be led by Shannon Gabriel, who joins the firm as a Partner. Gabriel brings over two decades of experience in workforce and talent strategy, with a focus on the manufacturing and private equity sectors.
According to the firm, the service aims to go beyond temporarily filling an executive vacancy. Instead, it focuses on embedding consultants in specific leadership roles to execute operational transformations directly. These interim leaders will assess operational and leadership effectiveness, develop strategies to improve performance metrics, and work to establish a foundation for EBITDA growth. The model is built on delivering measurable results quickly and ensuring a stable transition to permanent leadership.
“Our Interim Management offering is not about filling a seat—it’s about embedding change,” said Gabriel in a statement. “Our leaders are results-driven operators. They are experienced and extremely talented at what they do, bringing strategic clarity, resilience, and emotional intelligence to help organizations evolve and thrive in today’s volatile business environment.”
The launch of this service responds to several trends impacting the industrial and manufacturing sectors. Many companies in this space are navigating ownership transitions, updating legacy operational models, or facing leadership gaps. The firm notes that finding qualified leaders has become increasingly difficult due to industry-wide retirements and a smaller pool of new talent entering the sector.
“With market instability, talent shortages, and regulatory shifts becoming the norm, organizations need more than continuity – they need evolution,” added Lawrence Keeley, Senior Partner and Private Equity Co-Lead for EFESO Americas. “Our Interim Management offering provides a fast, strategic, and hands-on solution to build resilient capabilities and accelerate transformation.”
