    Third-party evidence

    Transformation, turnaround, scaling, M&A and exit, value creation in a PE portfolio or a vacancy: companies that bring in an interim manager for these situations usually decide under time pressure. Third-party evidence shortens the review. I am a member of DDIM e. V., the German interim management association, and head its expert group on energy. BVMID named me a Top Interim 2025. I am also accredited with leading interim providers.
