About me

Your expert for sus­tain­able busi­ness devel­op­ment

As CEO, I led a mid-sized indus­tri­al com­pany out of an exist­en­tial crisis, sta­bil­ized it fin­an­cially and developed it into a prof­it­able busi­ness. Today I make this exper­i­ence avail­able to entre­pren­eurs and man­aging dir­ect­ors as an inde­pend­ent spar­ring part­ner, seni­or advisor and advis­ory board mem­ber.

My ser­vices

I offer man­aging dir­ect­ors and own­ers of SMEs in-depth expert­ise and reli­able sup­port as a seni­or advisor and advis­ory board mem­ber in the fol­low­ing areas:

Growth through innov­at­ive cor­por­ate and sales strategies

Busi­ness growth requires the tar­geted com­bin­a­tion of new mar­kets, optim­ized products, and cre­at­ive sales chan­nels. The found­a­tion for sus­tain­able growth is an innov­at­ive cor­por­ate strategy com­bined with the use of proven growth strategies, such as Ansoff’s mod­el, which help min­im­ize risks and steer long-term busi­ness suc­cess in a meas­ur­able way through clear stra­tegic dir­ec­tion.

Restruc­tur­ing and meas­ures to increase prof­it­ab­il­ity

Restruc­tur­ing and meas­ures to increase prof­it­ab­il­ity go hand in hand with optim­iz­ing organ­iz­a­tion­al struc­tures and busi­ness pro­cesses. These need to be adap­ted from time to time to tech­no­lo­gic­al change, such as auto­mat­ing manu­al work­flows, enabling real-time data-driv­en decisions and improv­ing cross-depart­ment­al col­lab­or­a­tion. They form the core of digit­al trans­form­a­tion and, along­side mod­ern soft­ware, always require tar­geted change man­age­ment. Many mid-sized com­pan­ies need such adjust­ments and optim­iz­a­tions in order to have lean, flex­ible and mod­ern struc­tures that can respond quickly to cus­tom­er needs and deliv­er state-of-the-art solu­tions.

Sus­tain­able cash flow improve­ment

A sus­tain­able improve­ment in cash flow can be achieved above all through meas­ures along the entire value and sup­ply chain. There are essen­tially five levers: sus­tain­ably redu­cing pur­chas­ing costs, redu­cing work­ing cap­it­al, optim­iz­ing the sup­ply chain, pro­fes­sion­al­iz­ing pur­chas­ing pro­cesses and estab­lish­ing pur­chas­ing con­trolling. With an exper­i­enced advisor at your side, you can dis­cuss how to imple­ment these meas­ures and devel­op effect­ive solu­tions to set your com­pany up for a fin­an­cially healthy future.

Testi­mo­ni­als

“Besides his pro­fes­sion­al expert­ise, I was par­tic­u­larly impressed by the way he deals with people. Mr. Christ­mann listens care­fully and devel­ops tail­or-made solu­tions instead of stand­ard con­cepts. I feel very well looked after and look for­ward to work­ing with him again.”
