Alexander Lehner

I bring 25+ years of %22Dual Transformation%22 expertise to the table—the rare ability to stabilize the core industrial business while simultaneously building scalable digital engines. Having served as an Executive Board Member overseeing €700M in revenue and €200M+ in P&L, I understand the pressure of high-stakes governance and radical turnarounds.

My unique value lies at the intersection of three pillars:

Operational Resilience: I have a proven track record of turning a €100M EBIT loss into profitability within 24 months. I provide boards with the %22operational truth%22 behind the numbers.

Industrial Digitalization: I don%27t treat AI as a buzzword. I have successfully transformed legacy After-Sales units into high-margin, data-driven service organizations (achieving 44% organic growth).

Cultural Leadership: As an ICF-certified Business Coach, I help boards navigate the %22human bottleneck%22 of transformation, ensuring that strategy actually reaches the shop floor.

What kind of companies benefit most from my expertise?

I am most effective as a sparring partner for:

Mid-sized to Large Industrial Players (Hidden Champions): Companies in the Machinery, Automotive, or Infrastructure sectors that are currently %22stuck%22 in their digital transition or facing margin pressure in their traditional business.

Private Equity & Venture Capital Portfolios: Firms requiring a seasoned %22Interim Board Member%22 to oversee a rapid turnaround, post-merger integration, or a strategic pivot toward Service-as-a-Product models.

Scalable Industrial Tech Start-ups: Companies that have a great product but need %22Executive Maturity%22 to navigate complex global supply chains and B2B industrial sales structures.
