More about the interim manager

The practical and solution-oriented interim manager is driven by the idea of supporting logistics companies on their way to sustainable and long-term returns and cost savings. He is not afraid to take "unusual" paths - always with the aim of putting theory into practice. New construction projects and start-ups are just as much a part of his strengths as merging business areas into productive and profitable business units. The interim manager also has a great deal of experience in more painful areas such as plant closures and business closures. Optimizations in logistics - with a focus on the automotive supply industry - round off his experience.

The interim manager offers his clients an excellent personal network to companies in logistics and forwarding as well as to banks and lawyers.

The interim manager is able to inspire employees to save "their" company and preserve their jobs. The change processes he initiates always leverage and utilize the potential available in the workforce. It is particularly important to him to get all employees, managers and shareholders on board and to solve the tasks as a team.

Managers and shareholders often do not admit to the seriousness of a situation or company crisis. Optimizations of logistics processes are sometimes no longer recognized. The interim manager gets to the heart of these and other weaknesses through open and honest communication. It is therefore important for him that the "chemistry" between client and interim manager is right.

The interim manager was confronted with special and difficult business situations early on in his career. These included site start-ups, company mergers, company start-ups, new buildings and business development, as well as the closure of sites and the associated handling of staff and works councils, both in medium-sized companies and corporate groups. He has worked for his companies throughout Germany.

As an interim manager, he has always concentrated on his previous focus areas in freight forwarding and logistics. In addition to his former professional challenges in forwarding companies, the interim manager is heavily involved in the development and optimization of logistics processes at automotive suppliers and in working groups.
