A leading Tier 1 automotive supplier was in the middle of a major operational shake-up. One manufacturing site in Chicago was closing, while another was being relocated to Mexico. The transition needed senior expertise, fast.
McLean delivered three key interim leaders. First, a Project Manager was brought in for six months to coordinate the closure and handle discussions with government bodies. We then placed a senior HR interim to manage employee relations and support crisis communications. Finally, a 12-month interim CFO was hired to oversee finances throughout the transition, working directly with European leadership.
These appointments allowed the company to navigate a high-pressure period with the right balance of structure, empathy and professionalism. With every role filled by experienced operators, the business remained steady and accountable through a challenging time.
