More about the interim manager

The interim manager is an expert in agile quality management. He develops transparent, flexible and innovative processes that enable rapid responses. As an engineer and manager, he combines seemingly contradictory worlds: He combines the technical and methodological knowledge of a graduate engineer with the skills of an innovative leader. For him, people and interactions come before regulations and contracts. In most mandates, he supports his clients as a quality and/or development manager.

The expert is particularly at home in medium-sized medical technology companies and industries with comparably high quality and regulatory requirements. He also has experience in software development in large corporations. In one of his most recent mandates at a medium-sized company for implantable medical devices, he used agile approaches to make a significant contribution to ensuring that new processes were better accepted and implemented more quickly. He raised quality awareness at a software manufacturer. The introduction of a quality management system in accordance with ISO 9001 significantly promoted the target image and customer focus. Previously, as an external quality management representative (QMB), he supported a young company in the food industry in implementing a flexible and at the same time highly regulated quality management system in accordance with ISO 22000.

Experienced QM auditor with more than 100 projects in Europe, Asia and America

Prior to that, he led supplier quality management and advance quality planning in an international group. He brought both teams together in an innovative approach to form a "Preventive Quality Team". He also gained his professional expertise in the highly regulated manufacture of medical products, rounded it off in the automotive environment and gained experience as an auditor and project manager with more than 100 companies in Europe, Asia and America.

His approach is characterized by professional excellence on the one hand and a pragmatic focus on implementation on the other. The expert scrutinizes processes, is a source of change and systematically builds on an organization's strengths. With his methodical skills, he ensures that knowledge remains within the company and thus sustainably strengthens its positioning in the market.

He attaches particular importance to the links to the adjacent specialist areas. He sees an organization as a whole and questions the boundaries between departments. With agile pilots, he can help companies to overcome obstructive boundaries.

The expert's management work is characterized by listening and explaining the background. He makes employees take responsibility. In this way, he makes a significant contribution to developing the potential of organizations and teams in the best possible way.
