Why one operator
Better than a six-firm stack.
The usual market-entry stack is a law firm, an accountant, an HR agency, an executive search, an office broker and a translation agency. Six contracts. No one owns the outcome.
An interim CEO owns the outcome and orchestrates the six. Lower total cost, faster decisions, one accountable seat for the parent company to call.
Trilingual: English ✖ Italian ✖ Swedish.
Market-entry FAQ
What foreign HQs ask first.
How do foreign companies enter the Italian market with an interim CEO?
An interim Country Manager or interim CEO incorporates the Italian entity, hires the first commercial and operations team, signs the lease, runs the first 12 months and hands over to a permanent leader with a working company in place. No expat relocation cost.
Do you take Amministratore Unico or AD positions for foreign parents?
Yes. AU and AD filings with personal liability are part of a full market-entry mandate. Italian tax representative and PEC are set up in parallel.
Can you bridge between the foreign HQ and an Italian team?
Yes. Trilingual operator. Board reporting in English. Customer and team in Italian. Swedish where it helps. The lossy translation problem disappears.
How long does an Italian market-entry mandate run?
Typically 9 to 18 months. Long enough to stand up the entity, hire the team and prove revenue. Short enough to keep momentum and recruit the right permanent successor.
