1386 | Interim Multi-Plant Turnaround CEO | Europe
Multi-Plant Turnaround | Footprint Consolidation | Full P&L | Manufacturing Transformation
📍 Project Snapshot
- Area: Manufacturing / Industrial
- Location: Central & Eastern Europe, Balkans, United Kingdom 🇪🇺
- Duration: 12–18 months
- Start: October 2026
- Type: Interim
🏢 About Our Client
Our client is a European industrial group whose manufacturing sites turn raw materials into finished products for the furniture and consumer goods markets. The individual sites are profitable. What is missing is one accountable executive who can connect commercial choices, product strategy, sourcing, and operational performance into one disciplined platform.
🎯 Job Challenge
- Take full CEO-level ownership of a defined 12–18 month turnaround mandate
- Run a 90-day diagnostic across financial, commercial, and operational performance
- Build and execute a recovery roadmap covering footprint consolidation and supply chain optimisation
- Drive pricing governance, cost standardisation, and performance discipline across all sites
- Make the hard calls on each location: invest, restructure, or exit

Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
