New Interim Management Assignment – CPO Meyer Werft

Interim Management in Procurement is a matter of trust, particularly in an uncertain and volatile environment with fragile supply networks and the need for significant bottom-line contributions. Interim Management is all about setting a clear strategic direction and taking responsibility while empowering people, organizations, and suppliers. As a crisis-proven Procurement Leader, I take on this responsibility and support you in the Interim management of your Procurement organization, restructuring and transformation projects, and crisis and risk management.
As a Procurement Leader with 28 years of international experience, responsible for up to 5.0 billion in spending, Teams on four continents, and a recognized transformation, digitalization, and risk management expert, I have restructured, stabilized, and led several global organizations. I know firsthand the challenges of many industries, from SMEs to international corporations, and I speak the language of decision-makers and buyers alike. With compassion and perseverance, I manage the day-to-day business and important stakeholders. Let’s develop and empower your Procurement and make it a powerhouse, creating a competitive advantage.

I’ve been working with targetP! for some time now. I have experienced Jan as an experienced Procurement executive who brings plenty of „Horsepower“ to the ground by executing and implementing innovative as well as proven solutions. Jan is a fundamental contributor in terms of repositioning Procurement as well as in extensive employee development. targetP! masters the theory and knows how to bring it to practice.
targetP! is our partner to call about procurement excellence and people development. They are no-nonsense, straight-to-the-point procurement leaders with a strong entrepreneurial mindset. targetP!’s emphasis on connecting theory and practice gives them an impressive breadth of knowledge that’s much wider than the typical range of consultants. They took the time to understand our business needs and then delivered results fast using a hands-on approach that helped us tremendously to increase our capabilities in the area of procurement.
Prior to joining the company the procurement organization was regionally divided, focusing on price and delivery as their value proposition. Jan and his team led the transformation of procurement into a global commodity-based organization, improving the methods employed and developing the necessary processes within the global team resulting record highs in material savings and visibility in the overall value proposition of procurement. I would recommend Jan and the team to anyone trying to move the bar in their procurement organization.
Jan and his team have done a phenomenal job in helping transform our procurement department, He has definitely brought world class know-how and expertise to the team. It’s a long journey but we are definitely on the right track.
Congratulations Jan-Henner Theißen to your wonderful and very successful journey with targetP! Your are one of the best procurement experts I have ever met. And your strength as a consultant is to apply pragmatic solutions at large, medium and small sized procurement organizations which really work show a sustainable and fast impact. Your ideas are shaped by creativity and knowledge, and your advice uses a language which is understandable for management as well as for operations. Keep up the great work! All the best for the next years!
