Interim Management Focus
Matthias Kreye is Partner of Executive Interim Partners GmbH.
He has more than 20 years of management experience in industry and specializes in restructuring, transformation, and strategic realignment. Mr. Kreye regularly takes on interim roles as CEO, CSO, CTO, or CRO, particularly in private equity portfolio companies and family businesses.
Previously, he was Managing Director at Capmont Opportunities GmbH, where he managed the portfolio of medium-sized companies. The nine companies generated sales of €950 million at 28 locations with 4,500 employees. In individual portfolio companies, Mr. Kreye acted as Co-CEO, advisory board member, or supervisory board member, depending on the needs and level of stress.
As CEO of Europe’s largest supplier of wire bending products to the household appliance industry, he restructured the core business, sold unprofitable subsidiaries, and focused the business on sustainable profitable growth before preparing and implementing its sale in 2021.
Mr. Kreye took his first steps in the private equity environment at the Serafin Group, where he restructured a German candle manufacturer from the position of plant manager and held the position of COO for an international monofilament manufacturer. Here, the task was “buy and build,” which was realized in the form of company acquisitions and a greenfield project for a new plant in China.
He began his career at ThyssenKrupp Transrapid GmbH as a commissioning engineer before working for five years at Porsche Consulting GmbH as a senior consultant.
His professional focus is on the implementation of restructuring and transformation programs, the adaptation of business models and processes, and the operational support of M&A transactions (buy & build, post-merger integration). He has particular expertise in the mechanical engineering, automotive, household appliances, plastics, paper, and packaging industries.
Mr. Kreye completed his MBA at the University of St. Gallen, previously studied industrial engineering at Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences (Dipl.-Wi.-Ing. FH), and completed his training as a state-certified mechanical engineering technician at the Technical College for Mechanical Engineering in Kassel.
