More about the interim manager
The interim manager is an internationally experienced expert for growth in retail. Her expertise lies in strategic and operational management in the areas of business development and e-commerce. The former top manager (CEO/CMO) of well-known online and mail-order retailers increases sales and returns by exploiting the potential of the customer base and successfully acquiring new customers. She creates additional growth, for example, by optimizing product ranges and expanding business areas through internationalization.
In her most recent role, the former CMO established and scaled international campaign management processes within a B2B company. In another role, she developed the business model for a new leasing business in the gas and water supply sector at an industrial company and oversaw the digitalisation of the associated processes. She is currently overseeing the multichannel management of retail companies in several consulting projects. Prior to this, as CEO of premium food retailer Hagen Grote, she was responsible for expanding e-commerce activities and delivering a significant increase in turnover and profit. At tool retailer Westfalia, she drove growth through the internationalisation of marketplaces.
The expert (born in 1962) has been self-employed as an interim manager and marketing consultant since 2021. Her clients benefit from her diverse expertise and more than 35 years of experience in top management in business development and marketing. Not only in her 16 years as Chief Marketing Officer and board member in an Otto Group company, the interim manager has continuously optimized her toolbox for the entire marketing repertoire and the ideal omnichannel mix (online, print, retail).
Her personal strengths lie in her dynamism and clear focus on growth with good returns. In her career, she has repeatedly managed successful international projects. Her knowledge of foreign markets in France, Eastern Europe, Austria and Switzerland is particularly strong. This also includes the intercultural particularities in these regions. Her foreign language skills contribute to this: She is business fluent in French and English. The interim manager also has a broad network in online retail and with service providers, which she is happy to put at the service of her clients.
Her passion for travel, French culture and language as well as slow food provide the expert with constant points of contact for new projects and the opportunity to establish personal contact with clients and teams. Her pragmatic working style is paired with a lot of energy and impresses employees and managers as well as the management.
