Background

About Thorsten Doerr

I specialise in the tailored placement of interim executives in international upper mid-sized companies, primarily across pivotal sectors such as automotive suppliers, mechanical engineering, plant engineering, electrical engineering, chemicals, and food. My professional career began at BCG strategy consultants and led me through senior management position to roles as the CEO in medium-sized, globally active family businesses. This diverse background has not only broadened my perspective, but has also developed my ability to successfully execute international projects in Western and Eastern Europe, the USA, Mexico, Brazil, China and South Africa. Throughout my career, I have repeatedly navigated companies through difficult special situations, such as supply chain and supplier failures, cost reduction programs and restructuring, as well as scale-ups, M&A und Post-Merger-Integrations (PMI). These experiences have equipped me with the necessary skills to place suitable interim executives in companies facing exceptional challenges. The success in these endeavours is reflected in the companies I have had the privilege to lead. Under my leadership, these businesses have achieved significant growth and financial success compared to relevant competitors. This stands as a testament to my ability to steer companies toward growth and stability, and to identify and place the right talent for my clients. My approach is rooted in a deep understanding of the unique dynamics of family-owned businesses and the strategic demands of medium to large companies ("Upper Mittelstand”). This blend of strategic insight and practical leadership experience positions me uniquely to provide my clients with interim management solutions that are not just effective, but sustainable.
