My management style and approach to work as an interim manager are clear, structured, and implementation-oriented. In interim mandates, I combine strategic realignment with hands-on operational leadership, especially in transformation situations. I create transparency about the most important levers (finance, product, go-to-market) as quickly as possible and implement focused and prioritized measures together with the team. I lead teams and employees in an approachable and engaging manner, with clear goals and a strong focus on results. In turnaround projects as well as in VC or PE contexts, I work strictly on the basis of data and figures, with clear communication and a consistent focus on sustainable profitability and scaling.<\/p>\n

I wanted to describe primarily my personal experiences with other cultures, which I made over a period of 14 years. In the early 1990s I traveled basically on my own to the countries in central and southern Eastern Europe and opened a branch office in Budapest. Later, my experiences in Russia and other states of the former Soviet Union left lasting impressions, not least because of a moving excursion into my own family history. In the early 2000s, I traveled to the Middle East and some African countries before taking over responsibility for the business in the European Union. I completed my story with impressions from China, Taiwan and Guatemala.<\/p>\n Grenzenlos<\/strong> September 2007, 2. edition August 2019 \u201cAgain and again I found myself picturing the situations and the author really managed to convey these images.

The book is largely a critical look at the large South American state and its society. In particular, I try to outline the economic, political and social challenges of Brazil that I was confronted with on a daily basis. But hopefully the book can also convey the fascination of this country and its people.<\/p>\n Jenseits von Samba und Karneval<\/strong> November 2019,\u00a0ISBN 978-697753974 \u201cWhile reading I believed to experience everything again together with the author.\u201c<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cThe author\u2019s experiences are very interestingly written.

<\/p>\n1989 – 1990<\/h3>\n
\nAfter graduating in computer science, I worked first as a software developer at Nixdorf Computer AG. As system programmer, I co-developed the operating system for a digital telecommunications system. Here I could gain valuable experience in the areas of software development and software architecture. But then my way led me into selling technology products\u2026

<\/p>\n1990 – 2006<\/h3>\n
\nAt Intel Corporation I first built up our business and organization in Eastern Europe in the 1990s and then also in the Middle East and Africa. Later, I served several years as Managing Director of Intel\u2019s German subsidiary in Munich and as a member of the EMEA Board of Directors, being responsible for our business and sales organization in Europe. This time still shapes me to this day and in 2003 I also received the award \u201cCareer of the Year\u201c by publishing group Handelsblatt.

<\/p>\n2007-2016<\/h3>\n
\nIn 2006, I decided to take a sabbatical and traveled to Brazil. In the end, this sabbatical turned into a ten year stay during which I founded and managed two companies over there. During this time, I started to work an interim manager and management consultant supporting German companies entering the Brazilian and Latin American markets. An exciting time in a fascinating country, which faces a lot of challenges.

\nAt the end of 2016, I returned to Germany to fill the vacant position of Head of Global Sales & Business Development at Paessler AG, previously a client of my consulting firm in Brazil. Here I was able to contribute significantly with my experience to develop corporate strategy, expand global business development and build a worldwide sales organization.

<\/p>\n2020 – today<\/h3>\n
\nSince the end of 2020, I have been working as an interim manager and mainly in the IT and software industry. I take on positions in executive management and sales management of start-ups, scale-ups and medium-sized companies in order to support them in particular at strategic inflection points with the necessary transformations to position them for further sustainable growth.

<\/p>\n2023 – today<\/h3>\n
\nAs I am working primarily in the software and SaaS industry, I am very often confronted with the challenge that time-to-market is delayed or innovative ideas even cannot be turned into products due to the lack of qualified software developers. For that reason I founded pyraCode GmbH in 2023 with the objective to provide an additional service to my clients by building and managing engineering teams for them.
