About Frank
I help organizations bring structure, transparency and execution discipline to time-critical transformation initiatives. With 15+ years of experience across FMCG and healthcare / medical diagnostics in international matrix environments, I support clients in setting up or strengthening PMOs, governance cadence, integrated plans, RAID and dependency tracking, executive reporting, and cross-functional delivery follow-through.
My background combines transformation office leadership, ERP-enabled business change, portfolio governance, M&A integration and carve-out support. I have worked across corporate, family-owned and PE-backed environments, and I am comfortable stepping into complex situations that require pragmatic coordination, clear prioritization and steady stakeholder alignment.
Typical support includes PMO set-up and stabilization, governance and reporting improvement, portfolio transparency, ERP readiness, cutover and hypercare coordination, as well as integration tracking for acquisitions, divestitures and stand-alone set-ups. I am hands-on, structured and calm under pressure, and I work well with both senior stakeholders and functional teams on the ground.
Available for interim, contract and fixed-term assignments in Switzerland and nearby European markets, on-site, hybrid or remote.
