INTERIM COO

When companies need fast operational leadership, we take on responsibility. As an Interim COO we stabilize organizations, lead teams, optimize processes and drive transformation with a clear focus on measurable results. Until the organization functions sustainably under its own power again.

Not consulting, but operational leadership with accountability for results. 27 years of entrepreneurial experience at C-level, in mid-sized companies, scale-ups and corporates.

Typical situations for an interim COO mandate
As an Interim COO I took on full operational responsibility at Klugo (DEVK Group), for example: building robust leadership, role and decision-making structures (MOALs, consent framework) together with management and team, in a demanding transition and stabilization phase after a change in the leadership structure.

A consent-based decision format accelerated operational decisions and reduced interface conflicts. In addition, I initiated a first B2B2C partnership with access to around 3,000 corporate customers as a strategic pilot.

Result: an organization able to act, with a clear steering logic, measurably improved team stability and a first B2B2C pilot as the basis for further opening up the business model.
