Marc-René Faerber

As an industrial engineer (studies in Karlsruhe with a focus on corporate planning), I have always been interested in increasing the operational excellence of companies.
Before I was able to actively optimize the processes and performance of medium-sized companies in particular as project manager and CRO myself, I laid the foundations for it: first with the auditing company KPMG, then as a crisis manager in my own family business and finally as managing director in a corporate group (mechanical engineering).
Since August 2000 I have been part of the Struktur Management Partner team, as Managing Partner since 2004. In my work, I concentrate primarily on operational implementation management and the areas of management and performance improvement as part of our turnaround and growth mandates. In doing so, I pay particular attention to the interests of all stakeholders, which must be taken into account and balanced in the interests of the company.

• Development and implementation responsibility of turnaround and growth concepts
• Responsibility for the plant construction, mechanical engineering and automotive sector centres
• Turnaround management, in particular stakeholder management

• Many years of experience as a turnaround manager for upper-level medium-sized companies with an international orientation, more than 70 mandates
• Performance improvement and development of sustainable financing solutions
• Operational turnaround and implementation management
• Managing Director in mechanical engineering with responsibility for sales, development and production
• Implementation of ERP systems
• MBOs in France and South Africa
