More about the interim manager
The interim manager is an expert in (digital) transformation, particularly in the retail sector. As a multi-certified transformation consultant, managing director and marketing specialist, the Swiss national is ideally placed to successfully lead companies through change across all divisions and communicate innovations to the market. The expert develops new business models, agilizes processes and shapes corporate cultures in such a way that managers and employees shape the path of change together and successfully lead transformations to their goal.
In his most recent mandates, the interim manager comprehensively analysed the organizational culture of a Swiss health insurance company in 2022. With the successful development and implementation of a jointly developed mission statement, he made a significant contribution to significantly increasing employee satisfaction and - as a result - strengthening employee engagement. In another mandate for a wholesale company, the expert worked closely with managers to develop a pioneering leadership programme that significantly improved the conditions for an upcoming reorganization. By developing and introducing new service principles in a global industrial company, the interim manager made a significant contribution to winning over the sales staff for the company's expansion strategy.
Expertise as an entrepreneur, managing director, consultant and communicator
The transformation expert has been working independently as an interim manager and consultant since 2022. Before that, he was Managing Director of a fashion company in Zurich for ten years. During this time, he successfully drove the transformation of the traditional family-owned brick-and-mortar department store into a young brand with a strong focus on e-commerce and a modern flagship store concept.
Before that, the interim manager was managing director and partner of an owner-managed communications agency in Zurich as well as a client consultant at major international advertising agencies such as McCann-Erickson and Matter Leo Burnett. The change coach with an MBA from the HWZ has also been certified as a consultant (CAS) for business transformation, cultural change and sustainability management at the Swiss University of Applied Sciences since 2019. As a lecturer in business transformation at the University of Applied Sciences in Business Administration (HWZ Zurich), he also brings the latest impulses from practice and research to his mandates and consultations.
From his many years as an innovative managing director, leadership coach and customer consultant in advertising, the interim manager has above-average communication skills. He knows how to inspire managers and employees to achieve new goals - and leads by example. Clients and teams attest to his empathy, genuine interest and ability to quickly build trust with everyone involved, which he uses to create the basis for successful transformation
