Global Restructuring Executives Deployed in 72 Hours

CE Interim drives high-stakes restructuring across CEE, the Balkans, the Baltics, and the Gulf, backed by the global Valtus Alliance and a network of 2,300+ proven restructuring executives.

The Valtus Global Restructuring Network

The Valtus Alliance brings together 2,300+ restructuring and turnaround leaders across 30 countries.

From Europe to Asia and the Americas, the network deploys CROs, CEOs, CFOs, HR Directors, and crisis PMOs within days to stabilise operations and restore control.

With deep knowledge of local legal, financial, and operational environments, the network gives companies the leadership they need to protect value fast.

What This Global Network Enables:

  • Rapid deployment of restructuring leaders worldwide
  • Cross border teams for finance, HR, operations, and PMO
  • Local knowledge of legal and regulatory requirements
  • Consistent execution across multiple countries
  • Proven experience in complex restructuring environments
  • Access to specialist advisors and local partners

Your Valtus Partner for CEE and GCC Restructuring

CE Interim leads the Valtus Alliance across Central and Eastern Europe, the Balkans, the Baltics, and the Middle East.

These regions demand leaders who understand local legal rules, cultural nuance, and operational reality. Our restructuring executives stabilise complex environments fast and bring clarity where organisations are losing control.

Common scenarios we manage:

  • Confusing insolvency rules across borders
  • Union pressure or workforce tension
  • Supply chain disruption between countries
  • Creditor negotiations in volatile markets
  • Plants or operations losing stability
  • Sensitive CEO or CFO transitions

Global capability. Regional authority. Execution you can trust.

Where the Valtus Restructuring Network Steps In

  • Rapid deployment of restructuring leaders in any country
  • Multi function teams for finance, HR, legal, operations, and PMO
  • Cross border consolidation of shared services and core functions
  • Stabilisation of supply chains, vendors, and logistics routes
  • Access to restructuring legal and advisory specialists worldwide
  • Local insight into insolvency rules, labour laws, and regulatory demands
  • On site leadership for subsidiaries that lack local management capacity
  • Crisis support for carve outs, integrations, and operational breakdowns
  • Interim authority to manage lenders, creditors, and stakeholder groups
  • Immediate leadership continuity during CEO or CFO transition
  • Unified reporting, governance, and execution rhythm across regions

What Every Restructuring Plan Must Deliver

Liquidity Control

Cash disappears fast when crisis hits. We stabilise liquidity with short-term forecasting, strict cash discipline, and lender-ready visibility that restores confidence quickly.

Creditor and Lender Alignment

Banks, investors, and suppliers want clarity. We manage communication, negotiate standstills, and align all parties behind one realistic plan.

Operational Stabilisation

Plants slow down, logistics break, and service levels slip. Our leaders restore flow, reset schedules, unblock bottlenecks, and bring discipline back to operations.

Financial Restructuring

Costs drift without control. We reset the P and L, clean reporting, and create transparent data so the board can act on facts, not assumptions.

Leadership and Governance Reset

When roles are unclear, execution breaks. We manage CxO transitions, rebuild governance routines, and put decision making back on a reliable daily rhythm.

Cross Border Coordination

Multi country teams often move out of sync. We align finance, HR, operations, and compliance into one coordinated execution rhythm across all regions.

Stakeholder Trust Repair

Boards, owners, unions, and regulators need assurance. We rebuild trust through honest reporting, steady communication, and visible leadership on the ground.

Business Continuity

Carve outs, disputes, and sudden exits disrupt the organisation. We provide interim authority that keeps operations running while long term decisions are made.

Real Time Restructuring Execution

When pressure is high, theory is useless. Our interim leaders drive immediate action, resolve issues fast, and prevent the situation from sliding into deeper crisis.
