Interim Leadership in MedTech & Life Sciences
I take on operational leadership in critical phases such as turnaround, transformation, scale-up, and executive vacancy bridging at C-level, VP, and director level, with full accountability for results and execution.

Typical Engagement Scenarios
Executive Vacancy Bridging (C-Level/GM)
An unexpected vacancy at CEO, C-level, or General Management level can quickly place a company in a critical situation. I immediately assume operational responsibility, ensure business continuity, and maintain the trust of customers, employees, and investors. In parallel, I prepare a structured handover to the permanent successor. This avoids downtime, protects your results, and keeps your company fully operational without interruption.
Transformation & Change
Change is necessary but rarely seamless. I lead organizations through demanding transformation processes – from strategic realignment and cultural change to restructuring. I focus on clear goal definition, measurable milestones, and proactive, transparent, and regular communication with all stakeholders. By executing consistently with the teams, uncertainty is reduced and change is translated into ncrete and actionable steps, creating sustainable impact beyond short-term measures.
Post-Merger Integration
After an acquisition or carve-out, the speed and quality of integration determine the real value of the deal. I take the lead in the post-merger phase, restructure processes, integrate systems and workflows across organizational boundaries, and build resilient, collaborative team structures. Focus areas: realizing synergies, improving efficiency, and bridging cultures. The result is two organizations becoming one functioning whole, with stable results and clear alignment.
Commercial Acceleration
Innovative MedTech and Life Sciences companies often have strong products, yet market penetration and scaling lag behind expectations. I design tailored go-to-market strategies, build effective sales organizations, and optimize pricing and channel models. I drive execution, from first revenues to international expansion. The outcome: measurable growth, robust structures, and a go-to-market- and commercial model that outlasts the mandate.
What Sets Me Apart
Operational Responsibility, not Consulting
I don’t deliver slide decks for the drawer. I take ownership for results, budgets, and teams. As an interim executive, I make day-to-day decisions, manage P&L, and translate strategy into execution. This turns consulting into real leadership, with immediate impact on business performance and people. Clients value that I’m not standing next to the team but fully accountable within it.
Visible Impact in 30–60-90 Days
My mandates are designed to deliver both immediate and long-term results. Within 30 to 60 days, first progress becomes visible, based on a clearly structured 90-day plan that defines priorities, actions, and milestones. Weekly updates and transparent, connecting communication ensure full visibility and prevent surprises. This creates trust in the process and a clear distinction from typical projects that require long ramp-up phases before results can be seen.
Seamless Handover
Interim work is temporary by design. And I plan accordingly. I hand over fully functional structures, document decisions and processes, and ensure structured onboarding of successors or internal teams. This prevents dependencies and secures long-term benefits. My ambition is to ensure that your company is not only stabilized in the short term, but positioned for lasting success.
