Case Study: Cleanaway maintains technology continuity with interim GM of Technology support from Six Degrees Executive

Cleanaway maintains technology continuity for 7 months with Six Degrees Executive

The customer, Cleanaway, a leading Australian industrial and waste management business, faced the challenge of maintaining operational continuity during a seven-month sabbatical of its General Manager of Technology. The priority was to find an interim leader who could provide a seamless transition without disrupting the high-performing, stable team or the ongoing portfolio of AI and automation initiatives. Six Degrees Executive was engaged to provide an executive search service to source this interim technology leadership.

Six Degrees Executive implemented a solution by focusing on a curated shortlist of low-ego, pragmatic interim executives who were a strong cultural fit. The vendor successfully appointed an interim GM who ensured a seamless leadership transition with no disruption to operations. Throughout the seven-month engagement, Six Degrees Executive's placement maintained momentum on all key initiatives, provided effective support for acquisition activity, and kept the business on track.
