More about the interim manager
The interim manager is an internationally experienced C-level expert for complex crises and special situations, particularly in economically, administratively and culturally challenging regions such as India, China or Russia. In mandates and projects lasting several years, he has repeatedly successfully led companies out of sometimes very difficult economic and structural situations and secured sustainable profits, growth and company value. The interim manager is usually mandated as CEO, CRO or managing director.
In one of his most recent mandates, he managed the local subsidiary of a large European financial institution in India. Within two and a half years, he achieved a far-reaching reorganization and a sustainable turnaround. in 2023, the Swiss interim general manager developed the concept for a strategy adjustment and repositioning for the subsidiary of Austria's largest digital job portal within a few weeks and implemented it together with an HR interim manager.
In addition to 25 years of experience as a C-level executive and managing director in international corporations, the interim manager offers his clients a broad portfolio of skills, including certifications as a strategy and management consultant as well as for risk and change management. Extensive experience in B2B sales financing is a further component of his portfolio.
Many years of experience in complex economic and cultural environments
Clients also benefit from his many years of experience in complex economic environments, his hands-on mentality and his ability to adapt and integrate. Another of his assets is his extensive international experience: his assignments and mandates have taken him to China, Russia, India, Sweden, the Czech Republic and Hungary over several years. These projects repeatedly presented the interim manager with new challenges and trained him to constantly confront new and unfamiliar issues. He also owes the successful mastery of these challenges to his ability to make and implement decisions rather than delaying them. He not only acquired the ability to make well-founded decisions under high expectations and pressure to succeed as a managing director, but also developed this skill early on in his career, for example as a mechanic in motorsport and as a diving instructor.
Although he enjoys making decisions, the interim manager's leadership style is team-oriented: It stands for the necessary self-determination of employees as well as a clear culture of responsibility and error. Leadership through "questions" and communication of the "Why" is his focus.
Clients and teams attest to his pronounced empathy, emotional intelligence and clear self-awareness. Coupled with methodological experience and clear communication, the interim manager is thus able to take people along with him in the often very demanding and painful change processes and motivate them to actively implement them.
