Cerius Core Values

  1. We understand and champion leaders and their visions.
  2. We know & understand what people do best.
  3. We put the customers’ business and interests before ours.
  4. Respect & Integrity:  We seek truth.

Key insights and results from experienced, hands-on and vetted executives.

Through a deep resource pool of thousands of vetted executives, we offer a full services portfolio across all management disciplines from which we develop a customized interim executive solution tailored to your needs. You gain immediate access to a carefully selected skill set with the additional leverage of reach to the larger pool of Cerius executives — to develop new strategies for growth, carry out organizational or cultural change, manage complex projects, or fill business-critical roles currently vacant.

  • It was the best way to jump start our marketing activities – with the skills and experience to be productive immediately. It was low risk. We had a lot of flexibility because it was not an employee hire.


  • What we thought we would get was improved operations – but what we got was an entirely new, performance-based approach to all company activities – and the insights necessary to make substantial strategic changes


Who We Are

Our company is comprised of current & former business owners as well as top level HR executives.  We have the background & expertise to listen, understand and work with you to successfully bring you the executive (or team of executives) with the right expertise and background to provide you with the key insights, advise, execution and/or results you are looking for.
