More about the interim manager

The interim manager has many years of diverse and international experience as a human resources manager. As an interim manager, he most recently built up HR management in a medium-sized company (including active sourcing) and implemented numerous new HR processes and filled key positions critical to success during a difficult transition phase. Prior to this, he managed a staff reduction and thus contributed to the turnaround of the subsidiary of an international group.

After completing his studies in social sciences and economics, the interim manager decided to pursue a career in HR management. In several career stages in Germany and abroad, he repeatedly developed innovative solutions for specific challenges in operational and strategic positions. These included, for example:

  • Introducing active sourcing and social media recruitment to accelerate a corporate transformation
  • Negotiating a reconciliation of interests and social plan as part of a cost-cutting program with subsequent staff reductions
  • Due diligence and post-merger integration for the largest asset deal in the history of a medium-sized company
  • Setting up new subsidiaries as part of organic growth in Europe, Asia and the USA
  • Projects and tools to retain critical employees in Germany, South Africa and India
  • , South Africa and India
  • Building and developing a comprehensive HR development system with company training and development, talent management and securing the next generation (high potential program)
  • Worldwide project for retirement benefits for senior managers
  • Networking international locations as part of a strategic reorganization of HR
  • Reinventing global mobility for a Dax group

The interim manager describes himself as a "growth partner". He is guided by the conviction that a growth-oriented market leader must be excellent in all areas - including human resources. He rejects a strict separation of "operational" and "strategic" and always combines both elements with one another.

As a particularly pragmatic, entrepreneurial manager with strong implementation skills and an approachable, open and uncomplicated personality, he is able to quickly familiarize himself with the specifics of a company and develop goal-oriented, cost-effective and sustainable solutions.
