Interim Sales Manager

With over 25 years of experience in international sales and after-sales service organizations, including more than 15 years in leadership positions, I bring comprehensive expertise in water treatment and dosing technology, medical technology, general mechanical and plant engineering, and automation to lead companies to success.

My expertise includes successfully building or restructuring international sales and after-sales service organizations, including hotlines, to improve profitability and efficiency. I have supported employees and B2B partners through targeted coaching and development, and led large projects, effectively managing international teams of up to 25 members while handling change and conflict.

During my three-and-a-half years as Operations Manager in India, I successfully led the restructuring of the Indian unit, converting it from a joint venture into a wholly owned subsidiary, moving to a new building, setting up local production including technology transfer from Germany to India, and restoring profitability through strategic actions. I played a key role in building and strengthening the sales and service network, implementing a functional hotline, ensuring a seamless transfer of production equipment and knowledge from headquarters to India, and applying robust supply chain management practices. I also oversaw the implementation of a quality management system to ensure operational excellence.

In addition to my sales and operations management skills, I offer a wide range of services worldwide as needed, including strategic sales support, transformation, supply chain management, change management, agile project management, and lean management.

With a clear focus on sustainable growth and outstanding performance, I am ready to support companies in achieving their goals and standing out in an increasingly competitive market.
