Restructuring & Turnaround

In tense phases, what counts is clarity on what is truly decisive - and what can wait.

What this is about.

Difficult phases often produce a surplus of activity alongside a shortage of clarity on priorities. My role is to create structure, re-order priorities and make the critical choices manageable.

Experience in comparable situations matters more here than off-the-shelf concepts - as does the ability to stay calm and clear in sensitive conversations with owners, banks and staff.

What I specifically bring.

  • Liquidity and financing clarity: a realistic 13-week and 12-month view of the actual position.
  • Communication with owners, banks, creditors and the workforce - coordinated, consistent and at eye level.
  • Prioritisation of operational measures and an honest assessment of what is achievable within the available time and resources.
  • A clear view on the role of existing management - continuity, complement or temporary replacement.

Who this is for.

  • Owners and executives who need a sound picture of their own situation before decisions are made.
  • Supervisory boards who want their own judgement on a crisis, beyond management's reports.
  • Private equity investors who need to stabilise a portfolio company in a critical phase.

My approach.

Calm, directness and experience from comparable situations. I don't bring standard concepts - I bring judgement on concrete decisions.
