Summary

As an interim manager, I support companies through challenging phases—from operational scaling and financial restructuring to strategic realignment in crisis situations. With over ten years of leadership experience—as managing director, production manager, and interim manager—I help mid-sized companies and corporations implement deep transformations. I bring technical know-how as a mechanical engineer, solid skills in controlling and management, and intercultural experience. My focus is on structured analysis, clear progress, and consistent execution—hands-on, decisive, and focused on what really matters.
