More about the interim manager

The interim manager is an expert for growth in medium-sized industrial companies. His focus is on restructuring and turnaround as well as organic and inorganic growth. He accompanies M&A projects from the beginning to post-merger integration. His clients benefit in particular from his expertise as a manager in a large Swiss trust company and an international industrial holding company, as well as from his experience as a successful start-up founder. With this profile, the interim manager is predestined for mandates as interim CEO, interim COO and in business development.

In his most recent mandate, the interim manager successfully drove organic and inorganic growth as Chief of Staff at a large Zurich trust group from 2022 to April 2024. His tasks ranged from developing the M&A strategy to the post-merger integration of acquisitions. He was also responsible for planning and managing the budget for expansion. After the mandate, he was appointed to the Board of Directors of his client. In other mandates in 2022, the expert introduced an ERP system in a Swiss industrial manufacturing company as interim CEO and also optimized the central processes. As interim COO at a trading company in the medtech sector, he aligned the processes with Swissmed specifications.

Clients benefit from successes and failures as entrepreneurs

Before becoming self-employed (since 2022), the interim manager was most recently senior manager for restructuring and turnaround at an internationally active Swiss SME industrial holding company, which was ultimately taken over by a group. After the takeover, the expert decided to return to his roots and set up his own business as an interim manager.

In addition to the numerous qualifications from the various projects in his fiduciary activities, the interim manager's clients benefit above all from his entrepreneurial experience - in both success and failure. For example, he founded the first Swiss start-up for university tutoring and successfully sold it after rapid growth. Before that, however, his first start-up for a platform business in the boat rental sector had failed - and thus provided some of the experience that later made him successful as an entrepreneur and as a manager.

The interim manager is a dynamic leader who impresses both professionally and personally. His in-depth expertise in the field of lean management, supported by comprehensive certifications, enables him to tackle complex challenges efficiently and develop sustainable solutions.

In addition, the interim manager has strong soft skills such as a down-to-earth attitude, friendliness, objectivity and determination. Clients and employees attest to his remarkable ability to motivate teams and build relationships.
