More about the interim manager

The experienced entrepreneur for medium-sized companies successfully designs complex corporate transformations - with a focus on the energy supply industry and municipal companies. His fundamentally holistic approach to solutions is future-oriented and geared towards social change. With his finance and banking background, he prefers to design internal and external transformation processes as an interim CFO or interim CEO.

After several years of employment at Stadtwerke München - in particular in transformation projects for corporate and shared services - the expert has been available again as an independent interim manager and consultant since 2023. He previously held a number of management positions at Stadtwerke, most recently as Commercial Director and Head of Business Development at a subsidiary. As an expert in the Munich ecosystem, he developed joint projects and collaborations with universities, entrepreneurship centers (UnternehmerTUM), municipal departments and start-ups. Innovation management was also a core topic of his lecturing activities at the Chair of Energy Systems at the Technical University of Munich.

As an entrepreneur for SMEs, the interim manager stands for entrepreneurial initiative. He has repeatedly successfully spun off subsidiaries for Stadtwerke München, developed and implemented business models and implemented corporate services processes. For example, he set up a greenfield IT service company for the digitalization of educational institutions in a municipal environment in order to enable effective and efficient processes with shared services outside of municipal structures.

Finding the best solution for customers with great curiosity

His projects combine broad management experience from the corporate function with many years of consulting expertise from management consulting. As General Manager, he masters the role of strategist and businessman as well as that of business developer on the market side.

Strategically, he draws up the "big picture" with foresight and delegates the implementation with clear objectives. His analytical approach and quick grasp give him the information advantage he needs to find the balance between depth of detail and decision-making requirements. The interim manager has the ambition to find the best solution for his clients with great curiosity and to realize a successful customer journey.

As a certified foundation manager, he expanded his management knowledge in non-profit foundations and associations and brings this integrative perspective from civil society to projects.

In addition, the interim manager offers extensive experience in stakeholder management - internally and externally - and is valued as a "bridge builder". He is a proven communicator who motivates people and actively involves them. His actions are characterized by an appreciative human leadership style. In every discussion situation, he is open and empathetic towards his counterpart in order to achieve joint enthusiasm for the next steps. With his know-how and experience, he specifically encourages the teams' own initiative in order to anchor the project's success in the company in the long term.
