Lutz Voigt
Interim Management
& Consulting

Hello.

My name is Lutz Voigt and I am a freelance interim manager in the areas of purchasing/procurement, ESG/LkSG and compliance. I also offer you global on-site audits, my mandate on your supervisory or advisory board as well as my restructuring and reorganisation consulting services.

If you ask my clients what characterises my way of working, it is my down-to-earth attitude coupled with my roll-up-your-sleeves mentality. I don’t see myself as a temporary outsider, but am right in the thick of things when it comes to realising your projects or bridging vacancies with the utmost professionalism and care.

Despite my beautiful adopted home on the Baltic Sea near Kiel, I have an unrestricted willingness to travel and am open to Germany-wide and international mandates.
