More about the interim manager

The interim manager is a highly experienced project management expert. The spectrum of his mandates ranges from crisis management in the management of major international projects to setting up the project management organization of rapidly growing start-ups.

As a Kienbaum-audited A-Project Manager, Scrum Master, Project Management Professional (PMI), Senior Project Manager Level B (GPM), Systems Engineer and Six Sigma Champion, the industrial engineer has a proven and all-terrain toolbox with which he can steer projects back onto the right path. As a corporate trainer and lecturer in project management, he is also very well placed to coach managers and teams in such a way that projects no longer get into difficulties even after the end of the mandate.

His foundation is mega projects with a pioneering character and high complexity. For example, he led a multi-billion German-Norwegian procurement program for a DAX company in plant engineering out of the crisis and continued it as project manager and authorized signatory.

The interim manager's experience in particularly sensitive and complex projects is particularly noteworthy. He has successfully accompanied several strategically important defense projects (shipbuilding, submarines, frigates) in various responsible functions.

With this wealth of experience, the interim manager started his own business in 2021 and founded the company "Projektmanagement mit Tiefe". In this role, he expanded his skills profile to include work in start-ups and SMEs. For example, he supported the management of a laser-driven nuclear fusion company with the conception and introduction of professional and partly agile project management during its strong growth. In a German-Chinese development project in vehicle construction (rail), he contributed in an advisory capacity to making the cooperation more successful. He also successfully applied his conflict management skills in training at an institution of the Helmholtz Association.

The interim manager has above-average international experience from his mandates and a career in projects spanning more than 20 years. He has worked abroad for several months in Egypt, Singapore and Thailand. He has also worked regularly and on a long-term basis for German companies with international teams from Australia, Brazil, China, Greece, Colombia, Norway, Peru, Poland, Turkey and Sweden. With the intercultural skills acquired in these assignments, the interim manager is able to act confidently on an international level - with managers and team members alike.

As a practitioner and in theory (university work), the interim manager is at the cutting edge and offers comprehensive methodological expertise. He therefore also knows that there are no "panaceas". Instead, he adapts his approach to the challenges and the respective corporate culture. The result is a professional project management organization that is just as well equipped for the current challenges as it is for the time after the mandate
