For 20+ years, I have led transformations and turnarounds for boards, shareholders, and private equity sponsors across more than 30 countries. My mandates have ranged from senior advisory roles to interim operating leadership — Chief Transformation Officer, Chief Restructuring Officer, interim CEO, CFO, and COO — always with direct accountability for results.
