Barc Holmes. 30 years of experience delivering technology.
Interim Executive Services. If you are searching for a delivery executive but just haven’t found the right person, please let me help fill the gap. I am ready to jump in and help with my 30 years of experience working with teams and other executives. I can also help you develop a compelling position description and interview strategy to bring in the right person that fits your needs.

Why choose me? Well, first of all because I love this work. I love jumping in to new situations, figuring out how I can add value, and delivering.

I have over 30 years of experience working in technology companies. I am a bit of a business process nut, so I will work with you to make sure I am driving delivery in the most efficient manner, whether that be in an iterative, sprint-based cadence, or in a more traditional design, develop, test approach.

I come with a wealth of experience, tools, and techniques, but I’m easy to work with.

When companies bring me in as an interim executive, it is usually to:

  • Drive the team organization for more innovative product delivery
  • Develop job descriptions and growth grids for aligning resources to the company strategy
  • Reviewing existing technical systems and simplifying their use
  • Driving strategic alignment (usually with a series of facilitated offsites) of the strategy to the delivery roadmap
  • Teaching and mentoring future leaders

Please reach out to me to discuss how I can help fill the gap while you look for a permanent hire, develop an attractive position description, and mentor and guide the new hire to shorten ramp-up time.

My philosophy for leading as an executive is to keep the philosophical talks to a minimum and focus on delivering what obviously has to be delivered.

I will work with you to set up the guidelines for delivery, help you plan for it, give your teams the tools to deliver, then help drive successful delivery of your most important projects, every day.
