In Executive Interim Management, I support international industrial companies in stabilizing critical situations, implementing transformations effectively, and sustainably improving operational performance.
For more than 25 years, I have taken on leadership responsibility in demanding change and performance situations – particularly in Operations, including Production, Logistics, Procurement, Supply Chain, Quality, Engineering, Occupational Safety and HR, as Managing Director or functional executive.

I work successfully with people at all levels of the organization – from the shop floor to top management – and create the conditions for sustainable change.
My focus is on measurable results: higher productivity and delivery performance, improved quality, lower costs, and high-performing structures and processes.
