Naceur Chaabane Interim Management

"Having good ideas isn't sufficient; execution matters!"

Finding New Ways

Restructuring & Turnaround | M&A | New Markets | MENA

Whether crisis, change, or growth: I assist enterprises in the energy sector as well as in the electrical and mechanical engineering industries in reaching their full potential. I offer you expertise from numerous mandates and international corporate experience - as a C-level executive, senior international advisor, expert in business development, as well as M&A. Furthermore, as a multilingual German Tunisian, I possess rare intercultural competence which has proven to be a significant success factor during numerous mandates in the MENA economic region and francophone countries.

Finding new ways - and walking the path together

Turnaround & Restructuring

As an entrepreneurial interim manager and consultant, I provide you a clear vision for opportunities and potentials. In crisis and extraordinary situations such as the necessity to expand, I will not only develop solutions but also partner with you on your way.

Growth & Integration

As an expert in business development, I am very familiar with the challenges of growth. Whether expansion, M&A or post-merger integration: I assist you in developing initiatives for merger & growth and in implementing them successfully and sustainably.

New Energies & Diversification

Hydrogen plays a key role for the future (climate neutrality, decarbonization, and energy security). The MENA region is of equal significance. I offer state-of-the-art expertise in the hydrogen industry as well as exceptional intercultural competence for successful business initiations and partnerships in North Africa, the Middle East, and Sub-Saharan Africa.

Naceur Chaabane

connected internationally and shaped interculturally

Naceur Chaabane Interim Management

People determine the success of ideas and projects - especially in international cooperation. That is even more the case in asymmetric business cultures. Arabic and French are my native tongues, I am fluent in German and English, and I utilize my German-Tunisian roots and multilingualism to act as a bridge-builder, facilitator, and mediator. I am as familiar with Africa and the Middle East as I am with Europe or North America. I can provide you with a reliable network of connections in the energy industry (oil & gas), processing industry as well as to trade associations, government institutions and decision makers in those regions.

I am not just an interim manager or business developer, but an experienced entrepreneur as well. As a former partner in an investment company, I offer you comprehensive experience based on numerous projects related to succession M&A, distressed M&A and turnaround.
