Following Giesecke+Devrient’s acquisition of EKart, we were engaged by G+D to lead the critical post-merger integration phase. As their senior representative onsite, we took full operational responsibility and oversaw all key functions, including sales, marketing, manufacturing, quality, and HR—ensuring that business continuity was maintained from day one. With direct P&L accountability, we drove alignment between G+D’s strategic objectives and the acquired entity’s day-to-day operations.
We also served as the bridge between EKart’s local management and G+D’s headquarters in Germany, facilitating communication, speeding up decision-making, and creating transparency. A key priority was culture integration and talent retention. We worked closely with local leadership to build trust, stabilize the organization, and implement short- and mid-term performance plans to unlock synergy potential and lay the foundation for long-term growth.
