More about the interim manager

This internationally experienced business executive specializes in realignments, restructurings and reorganizations as well as the management of international marketing and sales departments. He is happy to take on mandates as interim CEO and managing director (also abroad) as well as troubleshooter for the rescue of (international) major projects. His comprehensive expertise in founding, developing and expanding products and brands in new international markets rounds off this executive's portfolio.

The interim manager has particularly strong industry knowledge in the medical technology, furniture and FMCG sectors. His particular strength lies in implementing strategies efficiently and effectively. He regularly exceeds the expectations of his clients - and much faster than expected.

The interim manager (born in 1962) has more than 30 years of international management experience as a CEO, supervisory board member, managing director, vice president, project manager (PRINCE2, Scrum) and consultant, including many Fortune 500 and FTSE companies. From his work for the Procter & Gamble Group and P&G brands, he is very familiar with international corporate structures. He is equally at home in medium-sized and PE-supported companies.

With twelve years of international experience in London and worldwide assignments (focus on EMEA, Asia, Pacific Rim and US government), the manager has an excellent global network in business and politics as well as strong intercultural skills. The experienced business executive naturally brings a high level of problem-solving skills, digitalization expertise and resilience.

In addition, the interim manager is a valued arbitrator and mediator. In this capacity, he has worked for the Association of German Metalworking Companies and for the British Middle East Delegation.

Both clients and colleagues in the projects praise his leadership qualities. They sometimes describe him as a "secret weapon" when it comes to winning people over and taking them on a journey to change and new shores. His management style is appreciative and at eye level. He is an excellent motivator and a leader who is quickly trusted and followed. He sees his task as bringing out the best in employees. He acts as a role model both professionally and ethically.

The interim manager has received several international awards, including Restructuring Manager of the Year (WKÖ), Top 3 Sales Manager (VCR) and for Project Management Excellence (TESCO).
