Projekt- und Berufserfahrung
- R.Martin UnternehmensberatungFreelancerBERATUNG & AUDITSJanuar 2025 - Heute (1 Jahr und 7 Monate)Köln, DeutschlandI take on consulting and interim mandates with a clear focus on delivering implementation-driven results. This is grounded in several years of experience in operational and strategic interim roles, as well as broad project work across the entire value chain. Typical areas of engagement include performance programs, scaling, reorganizations, post-merger integration, and commercial & operational excellence. I particularly enjoy working with family offices and private equity investors, confident in portfolio logic and well-versed in pace and reporting requirements. My strength lies in quickly creating structure, prioritizing initiatives, taking ownership, and delivering outcomes.
