Interim Manager, Mentor,  Advisor,  Sparring Partner and Leader

From R&D to Product-Market-Fit, Mass-Manufacturing and Operational Excellence.

One-to-One Sparring on Company Challenges

Confidential, hands-on support for leaders facing challenges related to growth, operational bottlenecks, team inefficiencies or just any other nut to crack. Through dedicated one-on-one sessions, leaders gain a strategic partner who asks the right questions, analyzes current obstacles, and helps craft practical action plans leveraging my 20+ years experience in the sector. The goal is to produce immediate clarity and guide effective implementation, quickly translating insights into business impact. "Ten minutes with you are worth a million" - feedback from a client

Fractional COO Work with Hands-On Operations Build

As fractional COO, I deliver executive-level operational expertise without the need for a full-time hire. Working part-time or on a project basis, rolling up my sleeves to design and implement best-practice systems, streamline processes, and tackle pressing challenges in hardware maintenance and operation, supply chain challenges or customer services obstacles. Once efficiencies are achieved and sustainable frameworks are established, I ensure a smooth handover to a permanent candidate, maintaining operational momentum through the transition.

Corporate Interim Management 

I help corporate divisions or teams to transparently address critical needs or cover urgent management gaps. The major advantage lies in readiness— I can quickly take charge of large, complex teams, stabilizing operations, and implementing solutions from day one. This immediate leadership presence can prevent disruption, restore morale, and ensure objectives continue to be met during periods of change or crisis.
