More about the interim manager

The interim manager specializes in HR projects in the field of M&A and international growth, in particular in multinational information technology companies and consulting firms. Her work focuses, for example, on HR due diligence and HR-side post-merger integration. One of the particular strengths of the multilingual German resident in the Netherlands is her expertise in intercultural harmonization. As an internationally experienced HR manager with many years of industry experience, she also takes on generalist HR management functions that aim to modernize or professionalize HR work.

In her most recent project, the interim manager accompanied four acquisitions in six countries (Spain, France, Poland, the Netherlands, Chile, Mexico) as an employed global HR director for the SaaS company TomTom Telematics/Webfleet Solutions. She has optimized and harmonized personnel, HR processes and corporate cultures in the companies on the basis of comprehensive actual/target analyses and by means of an overarching HR strategy.

In her career, the interim manager has also repeatedly successfully realigned HR departments strategically and operationally. Whether at Accenture Outsourcing or TomTom Telematics/Webfleet Solutions, her targeted HR initiatives have made a significant contribution to increasing employee engagement and reducing staff turnover - with effective employee and company growth as a result.

HR expert for dynamic global IT companies or business units

The interim manager's clients benefit from her many years of experience with contemporary HR management and modern HR departments in dynamic, global IT companies or business units with up to 1000 employees.

Current challenges, such as strategic HR planning, targeted recruiting including targeted employer positioning, HR marketing (employer branding) and the efficient use of digital HR information systems, are equally familiar to the interim manager.

The interim manager's style is refreshing and full of energy. In addition to her in-depth HR knowledge and MBA qualification, her business partners particularly appreciate her results-oriented approach: She examines a situation from all perspectives and arrives at a swift, comprehensive analysis and pragmatic proposals for solutions by asking critical questions with interlocutors at every level.
