More about the interim manager
The interim manager has worked as a top management consultant for many years and combines this with practical experience from around a dozen successful interim mandates. He has focused on sales restructuring in the B2B sector: from strategy to organization and processes to digitalization. He is a strong methodologist and masters analysis and concept development as well as implementation and execution.
The interim manager began his career as a sales manager for a Japanese company in the optical industry with qualifications in economics and master optician. After moving to the Boston Consulting Group as a project manager and to Gemini Consulting as a division manager and manager of major projects, he learned the consulting trade in detail and beyond sales over many years.
Since then, the interim manager has successfully completed both longer-term interim mandates for medium-sized companies and various sales consulting projects for corporations. In order to stay up to date conceptually, he teaches sales and price management as an MBA university lecturer. He is also the author of several sales textbooks, a member of international professional organizations and a certified Scrum Master. In his projects, he constantly and systematically learns from practical experience and then develops what he has learned further in order to make it usable for other clients.
The interim manager is often deployed in crisis situations in which sales targets have been missed by a significant margin and the client wishes to realign and restructure. They then place particular emphasis on intensive, personal leadership, motivation and development of their managers and employees - through individual target and development plans as well as by following up on results, activities and personal development.
At the same time, the interim manager leads through their own demonstrable expertise and their role model function. Employees quickly learn that the interim manager is a conceptual and operational sales professional and that they can rely on their advice. He has a command of the latest sales, marketing and management methods. He not only leads, but also gets involved himself when something needs to be done quickly and reliably - in negotiations, in the development and introduction of tools, in finding solutions and ideas and in personally implementing concepts.
