More about the interim manager

The interim manager is an expert in crisis management and growth in the international logistics sector. He gets companies back on track structurally and operationally in special situations such as difficult economic situations or after a merger. One of his particular strengths is his extensive experience in general management: these skills allow him to effectively and efficiently harmonize strategy, structures and processes. As a rule, the interim manager is mandated as CEO, CRO or COO. He also temporarily takes over the management of companies or parts of companies.

The interim manager has gained his industry and management experience at globally operating logistics companies such as Danzas, TNT, DB Schenker and Dachser. In his most recent project, he developed the go-to-market strategy and implementation plans for a digital Asian freight forwarder. Prior to that, he was COO and responsible for the global realignment of the intercontinental division of a logistics company. Prior to that, he successfully transformed the operational global structure of a specialist division from a decentralized to a more efficient centralized organization. As CEO and CRO of the UK national company, he also led a global logistics company back to profitability following a merger.

Team player with an intercultural background for international assignments

The interim manager is aware that the joint work of all those involved is crucial to the success of a project. He therefore attaches great importance to actively involving all actively and passively involved stakeholders across all hierarchical levels in the implementation teams from the outset and ensuring that communication is always up-to-date and smooth. He sees himself as an excellent team player. The social and intercultural skills he has acquired in numerous activities and different working cultures make a significant contribution to creating a motivating atmosphere.

The Interim Manager is at home anywhere in the world and can be deployed internationally. His tasks were mostly transnational and he has managed projects and companies in the USA and the UK for more than seven years. In all roles, the interim manager has built up a resilient network in the international logistics industry, which he is happy to put at the service of his clients at any time.
