Interim Management with foresight. Impact when it’s needed.
CCC Interim Leadership | Kai Künstler stands for experienced leadership on demand, where companies need to act quickly without being able to commit long-term. I bring the structure, implementation power, and result responsibility that your company’s situation demands.
My focus is on Medical Devices (MedTech) companies as well as adjacent segments within Life Sciences. Especially in situations where speed, structure and execution matter most: key vacancy coverage, transformation and commercial acceleration.
I take responsibility where leadership strength, structure, and implementation power are needed. Quickly, effectively, and in a truly connecting way.
Engagement Models: Interim Leadership (Full-Time) & Fractional Leadership (Part-Time)
I provide leadership on demand in two formats, tailored to your needs and business situation:
Interim Leadership (temporary, full-time based): Temporary executive leadership role with full accountability for results – bridging critical vacancies, driving transformation, enabling commercial scaling, or stabilizing organizations in times of crisis – particularly within Medical Devices (MedTech).
Fractional Leadership (temporary, part-time based): Highly qualified, strategic yet hands-on leadership on a part-time or project-based basis – ideal when seasoned, pragmatic executive expertise is required, but a full-time commitment is not.
Both models are temporary and cover all service areas described below.
What you can expect – at a glance:
Typical assignment situations in Medical Devices (MedTech) include key vacancy coverage, commercial acceleration, transformation & change, and post-merger integration (PMI).
Leadership responsibility on demand
Executive Interim Management:
- Do you need someone who leads with both C-level expertise and strong hands-on competence and can deliver from day one? I take on temporary leadership roles at VP and director level, with full accountability for results and execution.
Transformation under pressure
Restructuring, Change, PMI:
- Restructuring & Performance Management: When stability and efficiency need to be restored, under time pressure and with resistance in the system. I lead with a clear line and entrepreneurial focus.
- Transformation & Change Leadership: When change is needed but internal resources lack the time, energy, or mandate to drive it, I lead transformation from the outside, with focus, structure, and commitment to execution.
- Post-Merger Integration (PMI): When integration projects stagnate or clear leadership from outside is needed, I bring objectivity, structure, and implementation speed.
Growth under uncertainty
Business Development & Scaling:
- When innovation cannot wait, I take responsibility for growth and scaling projects until the organization is ready to lead itself.
Relief in certain phases
Project takeover & Line representation:
- When you have no time for failures, overload, or lengthy appointment procedures, I step in. Not as a transitional solution, but as your leader with a clear mandate and result responsibility.
