Background

About Michael Steinhaeuser

As a senior executive with high level of commitment, I am supporting the achievement of year-after-year revenue and profit targets. I am driven by a future-focused, end-to-end and customer-success-driven mindset, using and combining my experience and knowledge in the technical, economics and strategic planning area, which allowed me to build a proven track record supporting the development of business transformation models and KPIs to monitor effectiveness and success. Leadership: I am a passionate, agile, inspiring, authentic, and enrolling leader that enables organizations to operate at their peak performance levels with a continuous improvement mindset. One of my key priorities is to develop the necessary talents for future succession. I am facilitating dialog, building partnerships/networks and balance interests across the company ensuring end-to-end focus across the value chain. Together with my controlling and pricing teams, I am constantly adapting structures, processes and ways of working to the changing market environment (e.g, data analytics, Digital/AI) with the mindset “Change is difficult – not changing is fatal”, to further unlock insights and identify opportunities/black spots to drive commercial success of the company. How and what I deliver(ed): By leveraging a rare combination of operational expertise, and the deep understanding of the value chain (research, commercial, supply chain, manufacturing, finance and systems), I have proven to make timely and effective decisions while assessing their impact on operational feasibility and profitability at the same time. Being part of a team changing the business models and structures after a major acquisition and transformed the Controlling & Pricing Organization from a transactional to a business aligned, forward looking, focused and result oriented Business Partner Organization. My focus is to always deliver result with impact, consider innovation and changing market environment as a necessity. I am a huge advocate for common sense and pragmatism addressing challenges/improvements and to come up with solutions.
