More about the interim manager

The interim manager is an expert in complex approval procedures and international M&A projects in the commodities sector. The lawyer has more than 20 years of strategic and operational expertise in the field of environment and sustainability (including CSR, ESG and sustainable finance). Through a strong public affairs network, he is connected to various levels of politics and is therefore a strong partner in lobbying.

The interim manager is a senior executive with many years of experience and a proven track record in time- and status-critical approval and licensing procedures, in repositioning and organizational development of companies as well as in lobbying. As a strong communicator and diplomatic organizer and orchestrator, he is just as successful as an assertive and conflict-capable problem solver in the environmental and sustainability sector and in negotiations in conflict situations.

The interim manager has repeatedly mastered crisis and transformation scenarios in a goal-oriented, creative and pragmatic manner. For example, he was able to secure new long-term approvals for a large production site. This secured around 5,000 jobs and made a significant contribution to preserving company assets worth billions of euros.

The interim manager has extensive expertise in setting up and managing complex multidisciplinary personnel and project structures. This has also included assignments in Argentina, Jordan, Russia and Canada.

The interim manager is the founder of his own management consultancy and an executive consultant for an international business consultancy. Previously, he worked as Deputy General Counsel at a DAX and MDAX company, where he managed a department for corporate development, M&A and sustainability. In another MDAX company, he successfully rebuilt the corporate environmental department with 120 employees and was responsible for the company's political contacts and lobbying.
