F&P PartnersElena Springub
Elena Springub combines strategic business leadership with the ability to effectively align organizations and leadership teams. As an executive interim manager and consultant, she takes on leadership roles during phases of growth, restructuring, and transformation. She provides direction, makes clear decisions, and consistently drives change to implementation.
Her approach to leadership is characterized by taking personal responsibility for executives and large operational units. She strengthens top teams, clarifies responsibilities, and makes it possible to make even difficult decisions in high-pressure and conflict situations. As a sparring partner for executive management and board members, she takes a systemic approach, asks tough questions, and identifies conflicting goals. In doing so, she combines entrepreneurial determination with respect for the people driving change.
With over 15 years of experience in the IT and telecommunications industries, the former DAX executive and authorized signatory brings deep industry knowledge and international management experience to the table. She was responsible for strategy, corporate management, and transformation for an international IoT B2B business and led a carve-out at the executive board level. Her expertise ranges from strategic realignment to governance and operating models to embedding new structures and leadership styles into day-to-day business operations. As an experienced HR executive, she is also well-versed in collaborating and negotiating with labor unions and complex works councils.
Her practice focuses on the IT, software, and telecommunications sectors. In addition, she advises manufacturing SMEs and banks on strategic and organizational development, as well as on the selection and recruitment of executives and managers at the level immediately below the executive suite.
Her international experience includes the integration of cross-border business units, collaboration between European organizations and U.S. corporate headquarters, and the development of internationally diverse teams. Her benchmark is organizations that remain self-sufficient and capable of sustaining themselves well into the future, even beyond the scope of their mandate.
