More about the interim manager
The interim manager is an experienced C-level executive for restructuring, turnaround and realignment as well as crisis management. His industry focus is on large, internationally active medium-sized companies. His particular focus is on regulatory demanding industries such as healthcare and pharmaceuticals. The Swiss national is usually mandated as interim CEO or division head. Due to his multilingualism (German, English, French, Italian, Spanish) and intercultural experience from assignments in Europe (DACH), the UK and the USA, the Swiss national is predestined for international assignments. The expert has been working independently as an interim manager since 2004.
In his most recent assignment (starting in 2022), the interim manager is leading the expansion of the sales and distribution points in Europe as European President at a British healthcare company and is also responsible for the digitalization of order management. Prior to that, as interim CEO of a Swiss publishing house for high-quality print products, he realized the turnaround and successfully built up new business in Asia (Korea, Singapore). For a US company in the cleanroom technology sector, he successfully expanded the branches in the DACH region after the company had been acquired a year earlier and had to undergo a challenging post-merger integration.
