More about the interim manager

The interim manager is an internationally experienced business executive with strong marketing and sales expertise, particularly in the North American markets. He advises companies primarily on expansion in the USA and Canada - from company formation to mergers and post-merger integration. He is available for mandates in all stages of these processes: from temporary management and troubleshooting to business initiation and investor contacts to projects in marketing or sales.

The business administration graduate is a marketing and sales expert. He knows how to promote and implement innovations. But he is also very familiar with the tools of lean and cost-efficient production. With his holistic approach, he does not limit operational excellence to the production area, but looks at the entire organization. ESG standards are always at the forefront.

As a managing director, COO and divisional board member for internationally operating companies in the B2B sector, the interim manager has extensive experience in setting up and managing foreign locations. He has managed M&A and turnaround projects in various countries.

In his 18 years of working abroad for European companies (most of them in the USA and Canada), the interim manager has acquired excellent expertise in the US markets. As a green card holder, he is also able to work on site for his clients at short notice. He uses his experience and international network to advise and actively support his clients with investments abroad. In doing so, he takes on a wide variety of roles: whether as an executive, external consultant or coach for managers.

Thanks to his work abroad, the interim manager has a strong intercultural understanding. He knows how to deal professionally with different cultural and legal circumstances. And he is always aware that many investment projects abroad are at risk of failing due to a lack of knowledge and understanding of these circumstances. Accordingly, he knows how to adapt his management style to the circumstances and necessities. Clients and colleagues describe his management style and communication behavior as exemplary - not only in dealing with his own employees in North America, but also in relation to customers, suppliers and other stakeholders.
