Oliver S.
Last position:
Interim Head of Controlling at Ströck GmbH
Food
I took over the leadership of the Controlling department at Ströck GmbH at short notice. Accounting and Controlling report directly to the management team. In addition to overseeing day-to-day Controlling activities, I was responsible for developing reporting and setting the strategic direction for Controlling. At the start of the engagement, the Controlling department had only four employees instead of eight. Given the staff shortage, I first ensured that key reports were delivered on time while developing a new reporting structure.
Another key focus of my engagement was introducing a Single Source of Truth. Existing reporting was based on numerous Excel files and different source systems. I therefore worked with IT to drive the introduction of a modern BI system. Reports will be generated automatically with Qlik Sense, providing a consistent data basis for management decisions. Together with the management team, I also developed a completely new production reporting system that enables weekly production management based on defined efficiency metrics. At the end of my engagement, I supported the search for my successor, trained the new Head of Controlling, and helped rebuild the Controlling department to eight employees.
Actions:
- Interim leadership of Controlling
- Ensured day-to-day reporting continued
- Introduced a Single Source of Truth
- Introduced Qlik Sense
- Built a new production reporting system
- Developed the reporting landscape
- Supported recruitment
- Handover to the new Head of Controlling
Achievements:
- Maintained Controlling despite a 50% staffing shortage
- Introduced a central data basis for reporting
- Digitized reporting with Qlik Sense
- Developed a new weekly production reporting system
- Successful handover to my successor
- Rebuilt the Controlling department to eight employees

About the role
Impact on Corporate Stages
A professional presenter transforms an ordinary corporate gathering into a memorable strategic event. Whether addressing internal teams during a major transformation or inspiring an external audience at an international conference, external voices bring authority, fresh perspectives, and deep domain expertise. Companies rely on these specialists to frame complex industry challenges, align leadership on emerging trends, and energize employees around new operational initiatives.
Primary Deliverables and Formats
- Tailored opening and closing keynotes aligned with organizational themes
- Executive panel moderation and dynamic onstage debates
- Interactive breakout sessions and hands-on leadership masterclasses
- Professional master of ceremonies support for multi-day summits
- Accompanying post-event slide decks and curated resource packs
Core Competencies and Methodologies
Exceptional communicators combine deep subject mastery with theatrical precision. They adapt complex technical concepts into accessible narratives using structured storytelling frameworks and tailored visual aids. Beyond verbal delivery, these specialists excel in audience engagement techniques, live Q&A handling, and virtual presentation toolsets such as OBS and dedicated streaming setups. They work closely with event organizers to ensure messaging aligns with corporate objectives.
Local Context Across Austrian Venues
Engagements across Vienna, Salzburg, and Graz often require multilingual agility, with professionals delivering presentations fluently in both German and English. Organizations in the region range from established industrial enterprises and financial institutions to fast-growing tech hubs. Guest speakers must understand local business etiquette, cross-cultural dynamics within Central Europe, and the expectations of hybrid audiences joining from across the DACH region.
When to Bring In an External Voice
- Launching a critical company-wide digital or cultural transformation
- Hosting an annual customer summit or partner symposium
- Seeking an objective industry analyst to challenge internal assumptions
- Celebrating a major corporate milestone or organizational restructuring
Distinguishing Top-Tier Presenters
The best communicators do not rely on generic, recycled speeches. They invest significant time in preparatory calls, interviewing key stakeholders and tailoring content to the specific pain points of the audience. Strong specialists leave audiences with concrete frameworks and actionable insights rather than temporary motivation, ensuring long-term business value for the commissioning organization.
Frequently asked questions
Key details about Public Speakers, drawn from the questions we get asked most.
A public speaker usually focuses on specialized subjects such as artificial intelligence, organizational change, leadership, sustainability, or future work trends. Depending on the brief, they tailor the presentation to address either high-level industry vision or practical operational tactics.
A keynote speaker delivers a structured, content-driven address designed to inspire, educate, and set the conceptual tone for an entire event. In contrast, an event moderator steers the overall schedule, guides panel discussions, and bridges transitions between different agenda items without delivering a standalone lecture.
Engaging a guest speaker provides an objective outside perspective that carries distinct authority and breaks through internal corporate echo chambers. External specialists bring polished stagecraft, fresh industry benchmarks, and the freedom to address sensitive topics candidly.
Most international congresses in Vienna operate entirely in English, whereas regional corporate conventions frequently require high-level German. A versatile conference speaker in Austria often provides bilingual delivery or adapts their presentation style for diverse Central European audiences.
Yes, an experienced virtual keynote presenter operates professional studio environments with broadcast-quality audio, multi-camera setups, and interactive polling software. They adapt pacing and visual delivery to maintain engagement across both on-site attendees and remote stream viewers.
Review unedited video recordings of past stage appearances rather than polished promotional reels. A reputable professional speaker will gladly provide direct client references, outlines of previous speeches, and participate in a preliminary briefing call to discuss thematic alignment.
High-demand talent often schedules appearances several months ahead, particularly during peak conference seasons in spring and autumn. However, securing a freelance guest presenter on shorter notice is often viable, especially for local engagements that do not involve complex international travel.
The client should provide a clear thematic brief, details about audience seniority, and technical specifications for stage audio and visuals. An effective stage presenter conducts discovery interviews beforehand to integrate the host organization's context directly into their remarks.
