More about the interim manager

The interim manager is an expert in disruptive growth and the associated - sometimes drastic - changes in companies. As an experienced CFO and COO, he manages the scaling and performance of value creation processes in start-ups and medium-sized companies in the service sector. His expertise covers in particular the cooperation with financial investors (private equity, venture capital, family office). He knows what makes financial investors tick and how companies can meet the high expectations of the capital side. This is why he is mandated by companies as well as financial investors.

As a consultant, CFO or COO, he manages the scaling and professionalization of operations, finance functions, administration and HR. He takes the structures and processes of these functional areas to a whole new level.

Based on his project history and intensive contacts with financial investors, the interim manager is very familiar with the conception and implementation of strategic steps. He advises and manages M&A projects and completes post-merger integrations. Whether buy-and-build strategy, turnaround or restructuring: he stands for the goal of sustainably increasing company value - also in the context of value creation programs.

The interim manager has more than 25 years of experience in top management and as a managing director in corporations, medium-sized companies and start-ups, which were often owned by financial investors. He masters the full range of strategic and operational management and always approaches his mandates with entrepreneurial initiative. He has repeatedly successfully established innovative business models in the market in complex service sectors such as healthcare, aviation and logistics and has been responsible for disruptive growth and turnaround projects with high budget and deadline pressure. In one of his most recent mandates, he was involved in "sustainable business" and set up a start-up for the prevention of food waste.

The interim manager works with a rapid impact, structured and results-oriented approach, combined with a pronounced pragmatism and strong hands-on mentality. In addition to his professional expertise, his clients benefit from his high level of competence in the areas of leadership and organization. The interim manager lives his conviction that disruptive changes can only succeed with good leadership and professional development of the culture and organization in the company. On this basis, he has repeatedly developed management teams, organized management succession solutions and increased the attractiveness of companies as employers. His management style is characterized by clarity, structure, trust and encounters at eye level.
