For multinational groups and large domestic champions, interim management in China is used to manage market entries, restructurings, factory relocations, supply-chain diversification and compliance programmes. Interim executives are often bilingual leaders who understand both Chinese business culture and Western governance expectations, acting as interim GMs, plant managers, CFOs or Chief Compliance Officers.
