Turnaround Instead of Liquidation
Sustainable stabilization through consistent execution – with the goal of securing jobs and making companies future-proof. When things really get serious, experience, resilience, and the ability to act quickly are needed.
Turnaround situations require quick, decisive action. There’s no time for long analyses – decisions must be made and implemented. In my mandates, I have learned that the difference between turnaround and liquidation is often decided in the first weeks. That’s why I focus on what matters: stakeholder management, operational stabilization, and developing sustainable concepts.

About me
I guide companies through internationalization, turnaround, and M&A – with over 20 years of experience as 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.
In my mandates, I have saved production sites from closure, implemented international market entries in the USA, China, and Europe, and successfully guided complex restructurings. I have learned that the difference between success and failure often lies in the details – and in the ability to bring all stakeholders along.
