More about the interim manager
The interim manager is an expert in the management of complex IT projects - with particular experience in the financial sector. He is particularly at home in IT operations. He is equally adept at managing tasks in the areas of software development, strategy, cost controlling, security and governance. His broad expertise and 20 years of management experience enable him to de-escalate difficult situations and crises in both line organizations and complex projects, calm them down and quickly put them back on the right track.
In his most recent projects as IT director of a public bank, the interim manager was responsible for implementing measures to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements for IT operations (BAIT), among other things. He has also integrated the results of specialist and security projects into the work of IT operations. Other projects at the start of the coronavirus pandemic included switching from office-based work to home office-based work within just a few weeks and the further development of the organization following a strategic repositioning.
Extensive experience in technology, organizational and M&A projects
His particular expertise in managing major changes stems primarily from numerous technology, organizational and M&A projects, which he has either managed himself or steered as a member of a steering committee. This project experience predestines him to quickly convey a picture of the situation in difficult situations and to point out solutions for a return to normal project progress. In doing so, the interim manager works in the direction of both employees and upper management through target group-oriented communication. This enables them to build open bridges between management and employees.
The work of the experienced IT manager is characterized by leadership of managers and employees, regular communication, openness, appreciation and authenticity. In the past, this type of leadership has often helped to reduce employees' fears and anxieties. The expert takes management on board by presenting risks transparently, planning realistically in a risk-adjusted manner and always keeping the business as the primary focus.
The interim manager considers the continuous involvement of employees to be a key success factor for the project's success. He therefore places great trust in the expertise of the specialists and managers and promotes their personal responsibility. With the eye of an experienced manager, he recognizes potential. He also acts as an authentic coach with an appreciative and effective management style.
