More about the interim manager

The procurement expert worked in management positions for 16 years before setting up her own business as a consultant and interim manager specializing in procurement in 2005. She has since focused exclusively on interim management, as this is where she can play an active role in implementing the diverse challenges in procurement management.

The interim manager has been working in the field of procurement and supply chain management since her training. She completed a part-time degree in business administration and obtained a certification as a supply chain manager at the Georg Simon Ohm University of Applied Sciences.

The procurement expert works both strategically and operationally in various projects. She is mandated to bridge vacancies and for projects in special corporate situations, such as carve-outs and transformations. It does not matter whether it is a medium-sized company or an international corporation. She builds on many years of experience in various organizational forms.

Expert for GMP-compliant purchasing in the pharmaceutical industry

The interim manager has extensive experience in the pharmaceutical industry and is competent in GMP-compliant purchasing issues. She has also successfully completed projects in various other industries.

Her strength lies in taking over management functions, especially during phases of restructuring. As a "rock of reality" (quote from "Insight Personality Analysis"), she succeeds in bringing structure to the areas assigned to her and building trust among employees, colleagues and superiors.

Logically structured thinking paired with empathetic leadership skills

The interim manager is characterized by a high level of implementation strength. She accompanies change processes in the company in a solution-oriented manner. She combines logically structured thinking with empathetic leadership skills. She has no problem getting involved in operations herself. At the same time, she is very quickly able to lead her employees competently and humanely. She approaches projects with openness and a certain degree of humor, without neglecting responsibilities: "Control is good. Trust is better."

The interim manager attaches particular importance to finding and implementing sustainable solutions. This is another reason why she is very keen to get everyone involved on board - for projects that remain successful beyond the interim mandate.
