John Lloyd Osmant

I am an internationally experienced executive with over 30 years of leadership and change management experience in industry, automotive supply, building products, electronics, and high-tech plant and machinery engineering. I have held full P&L responsibility in both owner-managed mid-sized companies and international corporate structures, with a clear focus on stabilization, restructuring, turnaround, and sustainable performance improvement. My particular strength is taking responsibility in challenging situations – as interim CEO, managing director, or operations/plant manager – when quick clarity, decisive action, and operational execution are needed. I have successfully implemented restructuring and turnaround programs, operational excellence initiatives, and revenue and profit growth programs, achieving measurable results in a short time. I have extensive European management experience with leadership roles in Germany, the Benelux countries, and the United Kingdom. Especially noteworthy is my deep operational experience in the German mid-market and industrial environment, combined with a solid understanding of international stakeholder and investor requirements. As a native English speaker with business-fluent German (C1), I operate confidently at management and shareholder level – also in international and intercultural contexts. I am a Chartered Engineer with a First-Class Honours degree in Mechanical Engineering and an MBA from a leading British business school. My leadership style is pragmatic, execution-focused, and at the same time people-oriented – marked by clear, straightforward communication with shareholders, leaders, and teams on an equal level.
