Cerius Executives Expands Interim Executive and Management Consulting Practice into Canada

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

New Managing Director Spearheading Growth within SMB and Fortune 500

IRVINE, Calif. May 9, 2016 – Cerius Executives, a fast-growing on-demand interim executive placement firm, today announced James McGraw as its new managing director for its Canadian service operations. Based in Montreal, McGraw is responsible for Canada and will lead the recruitment and placement for organizations needing an experienced executive to fill a gap in management or skillset, complete a specific growth initiative, carry out organizational or cultural change, or provide value through an advisory or board of director placement. Cerius focuses on delivering measurable business outcomes that help companies and executive teams maximize profits and minimize costs.

“The influx of the gig economy has paved the way for highly experienced executives to do what they do best – make a significant impact on an organization in a short period of time and have the flexibility to then choose what they do next,” commented Pamela Wasley, CEO of Cerius Executives. “The Canadian market, in particular, has a need for a better option than the typical big-box management consultant firms where organizations are experiencing consulting fatigue: not seeing value with the money invested in relation to the outcomes. James’ understanding of the Canadian market and interim executive opportunity make him the ideal person to lead Cerius’ growth initiatives in the region.”

“Two major differentiators with Cerius are the high-level of qualifications of executives and the ease in matching the right person with an organization’s specific need,” commented McGraw. “An area of great opportunity is the SMB market where succession planning is typically overlooked or expertise is needed for operational inefficiencies. Likewise, there is strong demand among large enterprises for on-demand executives for business challenges. A great way for organizations to gauge the level of expertise Cerius offers is to submit a question to our experts through the CEO Think Tank online advisory service.”

McGraw was a former executive at Gartner Inc. and a director at BDC Consulting Group. He has held management positions at SMBs and large enterprises, and earned his Bachelor of Arts and Business Management certificate from the University of Ottawa.
