More about the interim manager
The interim manager is an automotive mechanic, marine engineer and graduate industrial engineer specializing in production and process engineering. As a senior expert for turnaround and lean management, he supports companies and groups with more than four decades of experience.
In his mandates, he usually acts at C-level as managing director, general manager or plant manager. His demanding mandates mainly come from corporations and medium-sized companies in the automotive supplier industry, industrial production in individual and series production and medical technology.
The interim manager has a successful track record in restructuring, lean management, cost and process optimization, supply chain management and turnaround.
As a decisive and assertive industrial manager, he designs global production processes with great confidence. He maximizes efficiency and minimizes costs. He relies on Kaizen, CIP, SMDE and Kanban, among other things. He is just as adept at setting up plants as he is at relocating production. He also has in-depth experience in negotiations with works councils, trade unions and banks.
The industrial engineering graduate is an internationally experienced, results-oriented leader with a flair for what is feasible and achievable. One of his particular strengths is that - especially in critical situations - he turns those affected into contributors. He enables employees to contribute knowledge, learn, participate in decision-making processes and pass on know-how. At the same time, he demands responsibility for decisions and actions.
His special skills also include extensive experience abroad. His many years of working abroad in the manufacturing industry (UK, USA, Canada, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Switzerland, Hungary, India, Korea, Japan, South Africa) have given him multicultural experience and sensitized him to other cultures.
Further personal strengths lie in store floor management, motivating employees and clear communication - even in crisis situations. The interim manager delivers results, provokes independent thinking, promotes employee creativity and cooperation between managers and employees in order to achieve the best possible result for the company through open, trusting communication.
The combination of a wealth of experience, practical relevance and emotional intelligence as well as an understanding of the key players make this interim manager a successful change agent for his clients.
