Our interim turnaround executive profiles assume operational leadership responsibilities in companies facing an acute crisis in profitability, liquidity, or structure. They develop viable restructuring plans in accordance with IDW S6, negotiate with banks, creditors, and the works council, and oversee restructuring measures until the company achieves sustainable stabilization. In doing so, they deliver concrete deliverables: liquidity plans, cost-cutting programs, restructuring reports, and—where necessary—preparation for StaRUG or “protective shield” proceedings.
Companies turn to our profiles when they face the threat of mandatory bankruptcy filing, when shareholders or banks demand independent leadership, or when an internal leadership vacuum arises during a crisis. The sooner an experienced executive takes the reins, the greater the room for maneuver—for negotiations, for financing solutions, and for preserving jobs.

A turnaround Managing Director takes over management on a temporary basis during a corporate crisis and guides the organization through stabilization and turnaround. They ensure liquidity and maintain control through reporting, KPIs, and tracking of measures, while managing stakeholders such as banks, shareholders, and suppliers. The goal is to ensure solvency and to sustainably improve earnings and cash flow.
The need arises when liquidity becomes tight, forecasts no longer hold up, or stakeholders increase the pressure. Warning signs include a lack of 13-week transparency, recurring covenant risks, escalating supplier issues, and measures with no demonstrable effects. With these profiles, you can quickly bring decision-making power and implementation pace into your overall management.
Proven turnaround experience, strong negotiation skills with banks, and the ability to lead under high uncertainty are essential. In terms of tools, the candidate should have a solid command of 13-week cash flow models, integrated planning (income statement/balance sheet/cash flow), as well as KPI dashboards and action tracking (Excel/BI/ERP analyses). Training in restructuring and bankruptcy law is helpful, but the decisive factor remains the proven results achieved in comparable crises.
An Interim CRO is often more focused on the restructuring plan, creditor coordination, and stakeholder processes. A restructuring Managing Director, on the other hand, bears full executive responsibility and additionally manages day-to-day operations, including organization, management structures, and operational performance. With these profiles, you receive not only restructuring management but also comprehensive corporate management during a crisis.
Typical deliverables include an immediate liquidity program—comprising a 13-week plan, payment approvals, and working capital levers—along with a bank-ready reporting package (KPIs, forecasts, covenant overviews) and a prioritized portfolio of measures with expected impacts, responsible parties, and a timeline. Our experts also provide a turnaround PMO with weekly tracking and clear decision documentation.
The daily rate typically ranges from €1,800 to €2,600 and depends on the severity of the crisis, liability exposure, scope of the engagement, and company size. In situations involving acute cash flow and stakeholder pressure, the rate is often at the higher end of the range because speed and responsibility increase. These profiles provide you with upfront transparency regarding terms, availability, and expected deliverables.
