Interim Management for Scale-ups.

Too big for a startup, too small for corporate structures: interim operational leadership that creates robust structures and makes growth manageable, without losing agility.

SCALE-UP INTERIM

In the growth phase, the organization determines the pace. Founding teams reach their limits when structures are missing, processes don't grow with the company and operational steering stays improvised. As an interim manager I help to build robust structures, professionalize operations and make growth manageable, without losing the speed and agility that make a scale-up.

As a neutral partner between founding team and investors who understands both sides. From my own experience: venture buildout, market entry in six months and experience as a founder and angel investor.

Typical situations in the growth phase
As Head Innovative Training Concepts I built an EdTech venture from the ground up: Within six months, an idea became a market-ready offering: with organization, processes, systems and team that were designed for growth from the start, instead of being laboriously retrofitted later.

The art lay in being fast enough for market entry while at the same time creating structures that hold when volume and team grow. It is precisely this balance between speed and stability that is decisive in scale-ups.

Result: a market-ready venture with a robust operational base that can absorb growth without hitting structural limits at every step.

Leading growth operationally, when small becomes big.
erlebe-fernreisen · Managing Director: As Managing Director I carried full P&L responsibility for around 33 million euros in revenue and about 100 employees, an organization in which operational steering, structure and leadership determine performance.

This experience shows the other side of the growth curve: what a scale-up builds today has to hold even when revenue, team and complexity become significantly larger.
