Interim Executive

Some decisions don’t look big on paper.

But they change companies, teams — and people.

That’s where I work.

• I don’t step into roles to manage continuity.
• I step in when clarity is needed, time is limited, and decisions matter.
• For more than 30 years, I’ve led companies at turning points — moments of transformation, recovery, integration, or acceleration
• when waiting was no longer an option.

What I do

I act as Interim Managing Director / CEO for organizations facing:

• Performance decline or margin erosion
• Leadership gaps or executive transitions
• Post-merger integration or complex restructuring
• Commercial reset or go-to-market transformation
• High-pressure situations requiring fast, accountable decisions

I take full leadership responsibility, with clear mandates, measurable objectives, and a defined handover.

How I lead

I didn’t build my career around titles.

I built it around situations to resolve.

That means:

• Making decisions with imperfect information
• Standing by those decisions when pressure rises
• Leading teams through uncertainty, not slogans
• Being accountable for outcomes — not intentions

My leadership style is hands-on, pragmatic, and execution-driven, combining strategic clarity with operational discipline.

What I bring

• 30+ years of international executive leadership
• Full P&L ownership in multisite, multicultural environments
• Strong commercial leadership (sales, pricing, channels, key accounts)
• Proven turnaround, restructuring, and transformation experience
• Deep exposure to Private Equity and board-level governance

I’ve led organizations across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and the Americas, in both corporate and PE-backed environments.

What clients value

• Rapid, honest diagnosis
• Clear priorities and decision frameworks
• Calm leadership in complex or tense situations
• Restored execution discipline and accountability
• A business that performs — and a team that can carry it forward

No polished storytelling.

No theoretical models.

Just results, delivered responsibly.

Typical mandates

• Interim Managing Director / CEO (6–18 months)
• Business stabilization and performance recovery
• Commercial turnaround and margin improvement
• Post-acquisition integration
• Leadership gap or crisis management

A simple belief

You don’t “manage” a transformation. You carry it. You own it. You embody the decisions behind it.

Leadership is what remains when the decision is made — and you’re the one who has to carry it.

Let’s talk: If your organization is at a turning point —and you need clarity, execution, and accountability —

Let’s have a conversation.
