Andre Pesarese

As a consultant and interim manager, I support companies in all aspects of operating IT infrastructures. Process consulting and design, provider management and provider development, as well as leading IT operations organizations are now the focus of my independent work.

In the 20 years before that at a financial services provider, I had the opportunity to develop the company's IT and help shape a wide range of changes. This company started as a startup with a classic founders' loan and grew through strong organic and inorganic growth with venture capital investors. It eventually became a pan-European corporation with private equity financing. During a 3-5 year turnaround, constant organizational developments and changes in management and ownership structures, I was able to experience the classic lifecycle of a company with all its positive and negative effects. This included shaping my own area of responsibility.

In the process, I gained experience in traditional line organizations in various roles and also learned about the advantages and disadvantages of matrix organizations and various project organizations and methods.

Through the internationalization of the group, I expanded my skills with international experience. With direct reporting lines to the Group CTO and Group CIO and close collaboration with colleagues from the UK and Scandinavia, I was able to analyze different working styles to identify and address communication and organizational gaps.

Recruiting staff (m/f), executives and project teams, as well as developing existing colleagues, was a key focus of my work.
