Introduction

Interim Executive (GM/COO) with 20+ years of experience in transformation, turnaround, carve-outs, external growth and post-acquisition integration across industrial, medtech, biotech, retail and public-sector organisations. I support companies during phases of transition, acceleration or restructuring, helping clarify priorities, align teams and strengthen operational performance. My approach is grounded in practical operational experience and structured execution, with a focus on supporting teams through demanding or sensitive periods. Core expertise includes: • Post-merger integration (PMI), carve-outs, cross-border consolidation • Turnaround management (cost structure, supply chain, industrial performance, culture) • Organisational structuring, governance, KPIs and scalable operating models • Multi-site and international leadership (FR/DE/ES) • SAP/S4HANA transformation, process optimisation, data-driven performance • Executive communication, board alignment, investor readiness Selected achievements: • Led the Exotec–Proclinic merger (legal, organisational, SAP, cultural integration – €150M revenue) • Turned around a German industrial plant (–18% fixed costs; redesigned production & supply chain; restored managerial alignment) • Structured PK21-5 (medtech) from industrial plan to go-to-market strategy and investor outreach • Executed the FiralIS spin-off (asset valuation, divestiture, M&A documentation, funding strategy) I engage where clarity, structure and reliable execution are required — helping organisations stabilise, integrate, improve or relaunch operations in complex or high-impact contexts.
