Summary
Senior Interim Consultant with over 8 years of experience. I deliver in complex and often unclear situations.
Over the past years, I have supported companies in strategy consulting, FMCG, industry, financial services and IT during critical phases. My assignments include turnaround programs, transformation offices, PMO setups and commercial finance functions, always with a direct link to senior leadership.
What sets me apart: I do not need a long onboarding process. I quickly find my way around, create structure where there is none and take responsibility, even when it has not been explicitly assigned.
