Whatever it takes
OTTO AVAILABLE FOR MANDATES — DACH & WORLDWIDE ON REQUEST
I am Lars M. Otto.
Whatever it takes — I get it running.
I take responsibility where others only advise — across DACH and internationally, across industries. Two ways I can help — choose the one that fits.
TRACK 01
Interim
I take on the role myself — interim management, turnaround execution, operational mandates in PE portfolios.

Consulting
You keep leading, I deliver analysis, concept and an execution plan from the outside.

Two tracks. One approach.
Interim means: I take on the role myself. Consulting means: you keep the role, I deliver the analysis and the plan.

What matters to me is always the substance of the matter — whether it is a one-person business or an organisation with up to 450 employees. The process always stays the same: analyse — align — execute — succeed.
Profile
About Lars Otto.
I am Lars Otto, your Senior Partner for Interim Management and Consulting – across DACH and internationally. I have led, restructured and built companies in events, facility management, real estate, pharma, e-commerce and AI.
My approach always stays the same, whether it is a one-person business or an organisation with hundreds of employees: Listen to what is really going on. Think through which plan holds up. Execute, instead of just recommending. Shared control, until the result stands.
