More about the interim manager

The interim manager is an internationally experienced expert for management tasks in the pharmaceutical and life sciences sectors. He takes on mandates as CEO or managing director as well as projects to optimize international sales organizations.

The expert has excellent sales skills. He is very adept at aligning large international sales organizations in particular with the needs of the market - from structure and alignment to processes and staff recruitment or downsizing.

His other areas of expertise include digitalization, particularly of sales processes. He has repeatedly led international teams in the introduction of customer relationship management systems (CRM) and ERP systems.

The interim manager's clients benefit from his many years of experience in corporations and medium-sized companies in the pharmaceutical industry - and the special skills he gained as a consultant in a consulting firm.

Most recently, the interim manager successfully built up a trading company in the Netherlands that supplies manufacturers of orthoses and other companies in the healthcare industry with raw materials. Before that, he repeatedly held management roles in pharmaceutical and healthcare companies such as BASF Pharma, Grünenthal and Sanofi Life Sciences.

Internationality is not just a buzzword for the business administration graduate with an MBA: Born in the Netherlands, he lives in Spain. With his multilingualism (German, English Spanish, Dutch French) and numerous assignments abroad, he has acquired above-average intercultural skills and built up an extensive international network, which he is happy to put at the service of his clients.

From his international activities, the Executive Manager brings excellent leadership skills with him. This applies to the cross-divisional management of executives in corporate groups and large companies as well as external stakeholders, employees and customers. He leads on an equal footing and relies on efficient teams with a far-reaching decision-making framework.
