Turnaround Instead of Liquidation
Sustainable stabilization through consistent execution—with the goal of securing jobs and ensuring companies are prepared for the future. When the going gets tough, experience, resilience, and the ability to act quickly are essential.
Turnaround situations require quick, decisive action. There’s no time for lengthy analyses—decisions must be made and implemented. In my experience, I have learned that the difference between a turnaround and liquidation is often decided in the first few weeks. That’s why I focus on what matters: stakeholder management, operational stabilization, and developing sustainable strategies.

About me
I guide companies through international expansion, turnarounds, and M&A—drawing on over 20 years of experience as an interim CEO/COO. This experience has taught me that every situation is unique, but successful solutions are always based on the same principles: clarity, integrity, and consistent execution.
Throughout my career, I have saved production sites from closure, facilitated market entries in the U.S., China, and Europe, and successfully led complex restructurings. I have learned that the difference between success and failure often lies in the details—and in the ability to get all stakeholders on board.
