More about the interim manager

The interim manager is an internationally experienced C-level executive for energy and commodities trading. The Swiss national focuses on business models relating to renewable energies. His portfolio ranges from the realignment of traditional energy companies in the course of the energy transition to the international procurement of biofuels for aviation and automotive to M&A support in energy and commodities trading.

The expert offers outstanding market knowledge and above-average negotiating skills - coupled with particular intercultural expertise. During his time abroad, he has built up a resilient network of decision-makers in the energy business, which he is happy to put at the service of his clients.

Successful mandates in the field of renewable energy

The Zurich-based chemist with a doctorate has been working as a freelance consultant and interim manager since 2018. In one of his most recent mandates (2022/2023), he advised a large German energy trading company on setting up a new business unit for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). Until 2022, he assisted a Swiss energy trading company with the purchase of a French biodiesel plant: from due diligence to purchase negotiations and subsequent restructuring through to successful operations.

Before becoming self-employed, the interim manager was most recently Head of Supply Strategy & Trading at a Swiss energy company. Before that, the expert worked as a derivatives and investment trader as well as a risk and business analyst.

The interim manager is available for mandates all over the world. He has lived and worked in the USA, Canada and Singapore for several years. From these and other roles, as well as his academic network, he is very familiar with a wide range of business practices. As a skilled negotiator, he is happy to put this intercultural expertise and his empathy to good use for his clients - as well as his network in North America and South East Asia.
