Rüdiger Tibbe

I am a Senior Partner & Managing Director in the Munich office of the EXCELLIANCE Industry Taskforce, one of a kind experts for transformation & turnaround management. Originating from a German family business in the automotive industry, I contribute extensive experience at the top management level of large listed corporates, especially in the global automotive industry. More than 25 years of successful track record – in transformation and turnaround management only – build the solid ground for recognition, trust and appreciation within the industry. When I come into play, the management is not able to perform at the absolute limit, anymore. My clients and their stakeholders trust in my expertise, especially in developing sustainable strategies together with the rigorous execution of counter measures. WHAT`S IN FOR YOU? As a member of the management board, I help your organization in my role as CRO or CTO to perform at the absolute limit again, contributing 24/7 my vast experience and network as entrepreneur, investor and industry top manager with a meaningful background, in family enterprizes and large corporates. My task is to enforce decisions, manage the restructuring process, ensure a robust execution and speed up the process. I believe in the power of clarity. Thus, I will identify and overcome implementation barriers and define new (management) structures. Together with the team, I will initiate a cultural (paradigm) shift, stand for the continuation of the company and the safeguarding of jobs by repositioning the business model. We will increase competitiveness, restore profitability and debt service capacity. In the end, this will create the new future as well as trust and confidence among all stakeholders, again. And with that, I will have made myself redundant. WHY ME? With my name and reputation, I stand for decisiveness, discipline and responsibility. No dog and pony shows, alibi functions and concepts for the drawer - but facing the facts and focusing on execution! I am the opposite of standstill, old trodden paths and underperformance. I am the wall that it bashes against, and I will not be the one who breaks. Listening, gathering and analyzing information is crucial. Then it's all about planning, speed and precision. Every single move has to be perfect, has to be 100% on target. Once management accepts that it is not third parties or weird, made up circumstances that are responsible for the crisis situation, but it is their own responsibility as management, then we have a common basis for the work ahead of us.

ECELLIANCE in a nutshell (excelliance.de): The focus of the EXCELLIANCE Industry Taskforce is in the manufacturing industry, family-owned and large companies (automotive, mechanical and plant engineering, electrical/electronics, aviation, rail technology), usually with sales of €150 million or more. An integrated process combines financial restructuring and operations efficiency together with strategic repositioning and expertise in execution. In line with our mission statement "Where the proof is in the execution!", we take on operational responsibility and ensure high implementation speed, e.g. through interim appointments as board members or managing directors, e.g. as CEO, CFO, CRO, or as a general representative equipped with a power of attorney. Depending on the situation, complexity and urgency of the task, the interim C-suite executive provided by us is supported in strategic functions by hand-picked industry and functional specialists, e.g. in the areas of finance, human resources, production, purchasing, logistics, quality, project management office. Our international (Europe, China, USA) team of nearly 60 partners, senior advisors and industry experts is also able to include subsidiaries and plants in aforementioned regions in a project. EXCELLIANCE's focus is on: (1) Reactive measures, such as the holistic turnaround (restructuring and reorganization). (2) Preventive measures, such as transformation into new business models as well as performance improvements in functional areas (3) Ad-hoc measures, such as crisis intervention, bulk series ramp-up, plant relocations or closures, M&A transactions and post-merger integrations. EXCELLIANCE feels perfectly deployed when sovereign experts with experience and patina are needed, who on the one hand bring calm to a fragile situation and on the other hand are able to quickly identify the root causes, immediately initiate countermeasures and further motivate all stakeholders, especially the employees of the affected company, through clear communication.
