More about the interim manager
The interim manager is a sought-after expert in the transformation and digitalisation of HR in medium-sized companies. In addition, she is often engaged on a fixed-term or project basis for day-to-day HR operations. Whether as an HR interim manager or HR business partner, whether as a parental leave cover or project manager: In all these roles, the Swedish national living in Germany prefers to take on assignments or projects in an international context, where she can utilise her diverse experience, intercultural competence and multilingual skills for the benefit of her clients. Her clients are often large foreign (matrix) organisations seeking to gain a foothold in the German market or expand their operations.
In one of her assignments, the interim manager has put the talent management and workforce planning of an owner-managed engineering firm on a sustainable footing until December 2025. This included professionalising specialist recruitment (engineers) as well as introducing a bonus scheme. In 2023, she took on a parental leave cover role as an HR Business Partner. In this capacity, she organised a trainee programme with an assessment centre for an international investment bank.
HR Manager and Project Manager for the implementation of Workday
From 2020 to 2023, the interim manager led several digitalisation projects. As an interim Senior HR Business Partner, for example, she played a leading role in managing the migration of HR software from SAP to Workday at the German subsidiary of a US group: from the ramp-up phase through to user support following go-live – including negotiations with the works council. She was also responsible for another Workday implementation, including works agreements, at the German subsidiary of a Chinese group. Furthermore, a German automotive supplier engaged her to lead the project to introduce a digital personnel file.
Numerous assignments with internationally active medium-sized companies since 2013
The HR expert and certified IHK business mediator (11/2025) has been working as an interim manager since 2013 and has successfully completed more than a dozen assignments and project mandates. Her clients are primarily from the internationally active SME sector.
One of the interim manager’s particular strengths is her international outlook. The Swedish national speaks five languages fluently: German, Swedish (her mother tongue), English, French and Italian. Her well above-average intercultural competence is characterised, on the one hand, by her Scandinavian openness and, on the other, by her many years spent living abroad in England and Switzerland. Furthermore, clients and teams praise the interim manager’s strong communication skills and her ability to maintain clarity whilst showing empathy for those involved, even in particularly complex situations.
