More about the interim manager

The interim manager is an internationally experienced managing director who is often hired by his clients as Chief Sales Officer (CSO) or Chief Marketing Officer (CMO). His particular strengths in business development include the strategic and operational realignment of business areas through market-oriented product development, sales management and controlling as well as process optimization. He has excellent knowledge of innovation management. This includes extensive experience in the definition and implementation of digitalization strategies.

Due to his professional background (Unilever, Bertelsmann, Reemtsma), the interim manager is equally at home in corporate groups as he is in family businesses, SMEs and start-ups, which he knows inside out from his freelance work (self-employed since 2003).

Clients appreciate his precise analyses, clear concepts and rapid implementation. When working together, the interim manager relies on open and trustworthy dealings with clients, colleagues and employees.
