Short profile

Intro
A warm welcome!
  • As a Master of Industrial Engineering and Management with many years of practical and international professional experience, I am an assertive interim manager and consultant.
  • I support companies in bridging management vacancies, strategically restructuring their business model and on the topic of ESG / CSRD / sustainability reporting.
  • For sustainable changes, restructuring or if sales and EBIT need to be increased, I am available as an interim manager or consultant and I support the implementation.
  • Success is usually based on consistent implementation. The necessary measures are often known, but there is often no plan and therefore no implementation. I stand for consistent implementation!
With few resources, good planning and AI applications, I am experienced in achieving the best results.
