More about the interim manager
The interim manager is an expert in treasury management. He offers his clients a special combination of skills. As a treasury manager, he brings in-depth specialist knowledge in all relevant areas of cash, liquidity, currency and risk management as well as the digitalization of treasury management processes to his mandates. His diverse management experience in corporate groups also qualifies him for generalist finance roles, for example as interim CFO. During his role at a Swiss energy supplier, the expert also acquired extensive detailed knowledge of the special requirements for energy and grid accounting, regulation and compliance in the energy market.
In his most recent mandate (start: October 2024), the interim manager is responsible for expanding the treasury activities at a heavy engineering group (one billion Swiss francs turnover) in Winterthur. Prior to this, he was CFO and member of the Executive Board at a Swiss electricity company until September 2024, where he realigned treasury management. This included securing the capital requirements for fixed assets and introducing a meaningful reporting structure. He also developed the new IT concept for all business areas. As an independent consultant and interim manager at a Swiss industrial company (one billion Swiss francs turnover, 20 locations worldwide), he previously took on several tasks between 2015 and 2021. For example, he acted as a troubleshooter during the introduction of the cloud-based treasury software "Reval/IST" and supported the introduction of the SAP treasury system. He also realigned the Group's liquidity planning, introduced TIPCO as a liquidity planning tool, restructured multicurrency cross-border cash pooling and group netting and was repeatedly in demand as a sparring partner for the Group Treasurer.
Treasury manager and banker with excellent knowledge of currency management

Before becoming self-employed (for the first time in 2007), the graduate business economist was most recently Head of Corporate Treasury at Swissport at Zurich Airport and Treasurer with power of attorney for 32 subsidiaries of the Karstadt-Quelle Group and the branches in Switzerland. He laid the foundations for his excellent knowledge of international currency management as a foreign exchange trader at a private bank in Vaduz and currency manager at Pelikan Hardcopy AG (Egg). At UBS Zurich, he completed specialized training in foreign exchange trading, while he went through all stages of investment banking with a focus on foreign exchange, interest rates and interest rate derivatives.
