Summary

Situations of change require clarity, speed and strong execution. This is exactly where I step in as an Executive Interim Manager. With over 15 years of leadership and transformation experience in mid-sized companies, scale-ups and regulated industries, I support organizations in phases of realignment, restructuring and growth – focused, results-oriented and on equal terms with management, shareholders and advisory boards.

In my mandates, I take responsibility where time is a critical factor: building viable target visions, prioritizing realistic roadmaps and consistently implementing measurable actions. My approach combines strategic steering with hands-on operational execution – from organizational and operating model design to performance programs and digital platform and business models.

Currently, I am guiding the digital reorientation of an established measurement service provider in the housing industry as Managing Director and Executive Advisor. Previously, I built, scaled and financed several technology-driven companies as an entrepreneur, CEO and co-founder. This is complemented by extensive executive management experience in a European fintech and banking group with international scaling.

Through my own platform, ExtendPartner Solutions, I selectively acquire and execute executive and interim mandates, especially when a traditional permanent role is not intended. My added value lies in quickly understanding complex situations, making clear decisions and confidently leading interdisciplinary teams – even under high pressure for change.

I am happy to bring this experience to your company to drive transformation projects forward in a structured way, ensure operational stability and achieve sustainable results.
