Management Factory – Excellence in Executive Interim Management and Financial Advisory since 2001

Management Factory was founded in 2001 and has since established itself as one of the leading providers of executive interim management in Austria. The company supports organizations in particularly challenging phases with experienced temporary executives – quickly, effectively, and precisely.

The focus is not merely on bridging personnel bottlenecks, but on actively driving forward business challenges. As a specialist in executive interim management, Management Factory assumes operational responsibility at the highest management level – for example, in the roles of CEO, CFO, CRO, or project and program manager for critical change projects.

Management Factory’s core competence lies in the areas of reorganization and restructuring. In economically challenging situations, the company provides fast, effective support: from stabilization and strategic realignment to successful operational implementation. Thanks to in-depth industry knowledge and a highly qualified network, it can navigate companies safely through crises and create sustainable solutions.

A significant strategic step was taken in 2022 when Management Factory became part of the Valtus Group, Europe’s leading providers of interim management services, headquartered in Paris. Integration into this international network enables Management Factory to implement cross-border projects with the highest quality standards and expand access to top executives worldwide.

In 2023, we bundled our financial advisory activities into a separate company and intensified these services. This enables Management Factory to offer a complete package of design and implementation, especially in the area of restructuring.

Our company is managed by three experienced senior partners who themselves have many years of operational management experience:

  • Reinhold Pfeifer – Expert in financial management, controlling, and turnaround processes, with extensive CFO experience in international industrial groups.
  • Thomas Tschol – Strategic thought leader with practical CFO experience, specializing in corporate management, transformation, and post-merger integration.
  • Gerhard Wüest – Specialist in strategy and organizational development and in sustainable change processes in complex corporate structures.

Together, they stand for reliability, implementation strength, and partnership-based cooperation.

Management Factory combines in-depth operational experience with a clear focus on results. This makes us the preferred partner for companies that need to act quickly and decisively in times of change. In terms of fee volume, number of mandates and reputation, Management Factory is the market leader in Austria (see our 2025 market survey).
