Expert leaders to steer your divisions
Expert interim managers to address the challenges strategic for your sector
Available within 5 days, our interim managers have an average of 20 years of experience in the transportation and logistics sector. Selected for their superior qualifications for the assignment, they deliver tangible results from day one.
Upon receiving your request, we present you with a shortlist of qualified profiles. Each manager is selected to precisely address your challenges — whether it's restructuring, crisis management, digital transformation, or cost optimization — ensuring a perfect match between skills and mission context.
Each assignment is led by a duo comprising a Mission Director who is a sector expert and a local contact based in France, the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, and Spain. This approach ensures optimal professional and cultural alignment.
Our role doesn't end with manager selection. We provide regular follow-up for each assignment, measure results, and adjust the approach if necessary — until your objectives are fully met.

Frequently Asked Questions
In what situations should you bring in a transition manager in transport and logistics?
Road hauliers, freight forwarders, logistics operators, and shippers turn to transition management to handle a leadership vacancy, oversee a network reorganisation, lead a pooling or outsourcing project, or manage an operational crisis affecting deliveries. Delville Management offers profiles covering CEO, COO, and Logistics Director roles.
How long should you plan for a transition management assignment in transport and logistics?
An operational crisis can be managed in 3 to 6 months. A network reorganisation or logistics transformation project typically runs 9 to 18 months. At Delville Management, the duration is defined contractually with clear operational milestones and regular oversight by the Mission Director.
What current transport and logistics challenges justify the use of transition management?
The sector faces structural transformations: decarbonising fleets (shifting to electric or hydrogen), rising fuel and toll costs, driver recruitment challenges, and increasing pressure from clients to meet CSR commitments. These challenges create one-off needs for experienced leadership to drive complex transformations within timeframes that are incompatible with a permanent hiring process.
How does an assignment kick off in the transport and logistics sector?
Before the manager takes up the role, the Delville Mission Director provides key contextual information: network organisation, flow typologies, regulatory requirements (driver training certifications, transport CSR standards), and current performance indicators. A three-way meeting is held at the outset to align objectives and milestones, taking into account the immediate operational priorities specific to the sector.
