Anne-Kathrin Bergmann — Senior Advisor
PORTRAIT — FRANKFURT, 2025
N° 01 / 03
02 — Practice

Four areas, one discipline.

The work is always the same: stabilise, restructure, then hand back a stronger organisation. The label changes by mandate.

01

Corporate Restructuring

Distressed M&A · Pre-Insolvency · StaRUG

Stabilising operations and balance sheets under time-pressure. Working alongside CROs, CFOs and creditor committees from Tag 1 to closing.

02

Board-Level Transformation

Strategy Reset · Operating Model · Org Re-Design

For Aufsichtsräte and Beiräte rethinking direction. I sit at the table, write the paper, defend it in committee — and stay through the first two quarters of execution.

03

Founder & C-Level Advisory

Transitions · Successor Search · CEO-Coaching

Founders moving on. CEOs walking in. The 90 days on either side decide whether the next chapter holds. I work both sides — quietly, never both for the same company.

04

Crisis & Turnaround

90-Day Plans · Stakeholder Triage · Liquidity

When the next 90 days decide the next ten years. Cash, communication, and the small number of decisions that cannot be delegated. Always confidential.

03 — Selected Mandates

Anonymised by design.

Every mandate is held in confidence. Selected references — described in industry, situation and year — are shared on request, in person.

An initial conversation.

A 30-minute call. No deck, no pitch — just whether the situation fits the way I work. Replies typically within two business days.
