How a Mandate Works

Diagnose

We conduct a structured diagnosis to understand the business challenge, define concrete success criteria and determine the leadership capabilities required. These findings form the foundation of the Principal Mandate.

Assess

We identify executives who have successfully led comparable transformation situations on multiple occasions. Each executive undergoes a structured assessment, including reference verification.

Select

Within days, we present no more than two executives whom we know personally and whose experience and leadership profile align with the Principal Mandate. Following selection, the engagement can begin at short notice.

Support

We remain involved throughout the mandate. Regular governance discussions with the client and interim executive allow us to monitor progress, identify emerging challenges early and maintain alignment on the agreed objectives.

Commitments

Highest Confidentiality

Mutual NDAs precede every substantive conversation. Mandates are never publicly advertised.

Continuous Alignment

We act as a trusted partner to clients and executives alike, maintaining close dialogue with both sides throughout the mandate.

Rigorous Executive Assessment

Every executive is assessed against the specific transformation challenge, relevant stakeholders and team dynamics.

Team

Josef Gautsch, Founder and CEO of CHARTA EXECUTIVE

Josef Gautsch

Founder & CEO

Josef Gautsch knows the market from multiple perspectives: an expert network, a freelance platform, a leading interim management provider, a top-tier executive search firm and strategy consulting.

Across these settings, one observation has repeatedly stood out: at many providers, responsibility ends with the presentation or the successful placement. At CHARTA EXECUTIVE, that is where it begins.

Those who understand a mandate and select the right executive should also take responsibility for its success. That is why Josef Gautsch personally oversees every mandate, from initial briefing through ongoing governance to handover.
