More about the interim manager
The interim manager is a C-level production manager with a background in large international corporations (Nestle, Coca-Cola, Unilabs) and special experience in highly regulated industries such as healthcare and food (baby food, beverages, food). She has repeatedly successfully developed and implemented efficiency programs in international organizations, introduced innovative production processes and scaled production capacities. It has also expanded or closed sites. A further strength of the food engineer (ETH Zurich) is her extensive expertise in quality management.
The interim manager is seeking mandates as a senior production manager in corporations or large SMEs. With her international experience and multilingualism, the interim manager is particularly well suited for assignments in international projects (preferably based in Switzerland).
The production expert has been self-employed as an interim manager since 2024. Until 2023, she was Operations Director and a member of the Executive Board of Unilabs S.A, an internationally active Swiss diagnostics company. During this time, she managed to significantly improve the quality and turnaround times of the tests while reducing costs by four percent annually. As production manager of three plants of the Coca-Cola Group in Switzerland, she was able to reduce unit costs by more than ten percent - also by merging two sites.
International experience in the production of particularly sensitive products
From her many years working for the Nestlé Group, the interim manager brings with her above-average expertise in the production of particularly sensitive products such as baby food and beverages. As head of a French production unit, for example, she managed the launch of more than 50 new products that were exported from France to twelve EU countries. Also from France, as Global Head of Industrial Performance, she implemented efficiency programs in more than 100 Nestlé water factories, including in France, the USA, Italy and Thailand.
In her assignments abroad, the interim manager was able to develop the intercultural skills she had already acquired during her education (German schools in Colombia and Argentina) to a particularly high level. The expert's multilingualism also contributes to smooth cooperation in international teams: She speaks fluent English, French, Spanish and German.
