More about the interim manager

The interim manager is an expert in all aspects of purchasing and logistics. He has assumed management responsibility in more than 15 companies from various industries. He takes on mandates that include organizational, strategic and project-related tasks in addition to management. Realignment and efficient design are always a particular focus of his projects.

With almost 30 years of theoretical (specializing in procurement during his studies) and practical experience in many medium-sized and large companies from a wide range of industries, the interim manager is primarily called upon for realignment. In addition to management topics, he offers his clients a redesigned organization with lean processes and a coordinated strategy with a cost-efficient focus if required.

Interim mandates and work as a consultant

His most recent projects have taken the interim manager from the reorganization of purchasing in the recycling industry, the leveraging of synergies at a group of companies in the fittings industry to the integration of company acquisitions at a trade fair service provider. The manager is also regularly deployed as a consultant, for example in the paper and cardboard industry to analyze and create a concept for a new supply chain and to leverage synergies at a group of companies with subsidiaries from different industries.

An important prerequisite for successful change at his clients is getting the employees on board. As an interim manager, he creates a transparent, open and trusting environment in order to establish sustainable change processes. He maintains appropriate communication at all levels, from the store floor to company management.
