More about the interim manager

The interim manager is an expert in optimizing production processes. A key focus of her work is optimizing production planning and control – from analysis and maintenance of ERP systems to process and setup optimizations. In addition, this experienced production and operations manager is highly skilled at managing transformation processes – such as large-scale digitalization projects, new product launches, or plant relocations – on time and within budget. In her assignments, she not only keeps the current project in view but also always maintains a focus on the big picture: from product development through the supply chain and production to quality management.

Many years of expertise as a production executive in family-owned companies

The expert has been working independently as an interim manager and consultant since 2022. Her first assignment took her to a well-known medium-sized company in the German food industry. As deputy plant manager, she led the site – with 40 employees – through a comprehensive transformation, digitization, and restructuring process during an assignment that was extended multiple times (for a total of 32 months). 

Before becoming self-employed, the business administration graduate served for more than 20 years as a project and production manager at a medium-sized Bavarian cosmetics manufacturer. During this time, she was responsible, among other things, for the implementation of a new ERP system and successfully managed numerous highly complex product launches. In doing so, she consistently met the particularly stringent quality management requirements of the cosmetics industry.

Among the interim manager’s key strengths is her many years of experience in medium-sized family-owned businesses. She has repeatedly played a pivotal role in guiding her employers through challenging changes. In doing so, she has consistently succeeded not only in preserving the company’s unique, long-established culture but also in strategically developing it further.

Change and transformation projects are particularly well-suited to this interim manager, not only because of her experience but also due to her relevant qualifications. Her clients also benefit from her numerous additional qualifications, including certifications as an Agile Coach, AI Leader, and organizational developer. With her empathetic communication on an equal footing, the interim manager is particularly skilled at connecting with people within the company and taking them along on a diverse journey toward sustainable goals.
