VP-level marketing leadership that lands running.
Interim CMO — Enterprise
Leadership transitions are expensive when marketing loses momentum. I step in as interim CMO and keep your function moving from day one — no six-month onboarding runway, no ramp-up cost, no gap in strategic direction. Fifteen years at VP level in a EUR 20B global company means I know how enterprise marketing works, how to lead existing teams through uncertainty, and how to maintain continuity while you complete your search or navigate a planned departure.

The continuity proof
Led 4 global marketing teams across 50+ direct and indirect FTEs. Experienced in keeping teams stable, focused and performing through leadership transitions.

The scale proof
EUR 10M+ annual budget, 80+ countries, campaigns in The Economist, Variety and TIME. Enterprise marketing at its most complex from HQ to the regions.

The commercial proof
Marketing that contributed to EU legislation and DKK 50bn in state-backed offshore reform. Proof that marketing earns its seat in the boardroom.

Ready from day one
15 years across six roles at Vestas — brand, digital, policy, MarTech, comms, commercial people leadership. No gaps. No ramp-up required.
WHO IS THIs FOR
Enterprise organisations facing a CMO departure, supporting a permanent search, or needing senior marketing leadership through a critical transition period. Boards and CEOs who cannot afford to let the marketing function drift while a search is underway.
I step in, assess quickly, stabilise the team and keep strategic direction intact — so your incoming CMO inherits a function that is in better shape than when I arrived.
