With over 30 years of experience in mechanical engineering and industry—including 11 years as Managing Director of a family-run group of companies—I bring hands-on leadership and a clear focus to every transformation project.
From day one, I work closely with stakeholders to define clear goals and take immediate action. I assess the situation on site, uncover what’s really happening, and set targeted objectives with the team. Implementation is monitored closely, ensuring that progress is both measurable and sustainable.
Disruptive factors are quickly identified and addressed through practical, tailored solutions. I optimise processes, introduce effective control tools, and promote transparent communication—across all levels of the business, with owners, works councils, and external institutions.
Transformation isn’t just about change—it’s about clarity, structure, and results.
Management in transition
I take full responsibility for managing the transformation process, ensuring that new requirements—particularly around financials and reporting—are implemented effectively and clearly communicated to the team on site. In close coordination with stakeholders, I align the company’s goals and ensure they are communicated in a way that motivates the team and keeps everyone focused on delivery. Throughout the entire change process, I provide steady leadership and maintain momentum. I report transparently to the holding company, presenting developments in a clear, comprehensible manner. Once the transformation is complete and the company is firmly on the path to success, I hand over to a new management team to carry the vision forward with confidence and continuity.
Ensuring Continuity
When a Managing Director is unexpectedly absent, business continuity must be secured without delay. I step in at short notice, quickly familiarise myself with the company environment, and provide clear, transparent communication with the team. I ensure day-to-day operations run smoothly, the company's objectives remain in focus, and the team understands the direction and priorities. My leadership provides stability and clarity during a critical period. At the end of the mandate, I carry out a structured and transparent handover to the incoming management team, ensuring a seamless transition and continued success.
Project management during challenging times
Planning to establish a new sales or assembly site in Europe, Asia, or the USA? Looking for an experienced manager who not only understands legal, organisational, and HR requirements, but also keeps a firm eye on the technical challenges? I bring hands-on experience in setting up international sales offices and relocating production facilities. I ensure timelines are met, communication flows smoothly, and both local teams and management are aligned—working towards shared goals with clarity and focus. I’m your trusted on-site leader until the operation is fully up and running.
