Let’s Talk Strategy
Periods of transition require experienced leadership, steady judgment, and discretion. When continuity matters—and the stakes are high—interim support should strengthen systems, support teams, and protect momentum, not simply fill a role.
Purple Sheep Consulting provides senior-level interim leadership designed to stabilize operations, guide teams through change, and prepare institutions for what comes next.
If your institution is navigating a transition and needs experienced interim leadership, we invite you to reach out directly.
