Message: I am an executive looking into the possibility of working for a VC or Investment banking company as a hired gun.Basically, I would be sent into recently acquired companies withe the mission to either get them properly launched or to turn the business around. At the end of the assignment, I would then move to a new challenge. I would have total respponsibility or be assigned to a ceo as the COO . I understand from other contacts that such positions exists and are referred to as " Portable Executives" . Can anyone verify this as a regular practice and do you have any contacts or suggested ways to find contacts ?
