Johann Spanner

Johann has more than 20 years of corporate finance, transformation and restructuring experience.

Johann knows how to turn restructuring and transformation plans into results because he has experienced the critical roles such programmes require first-hand: As an external advisor, as CFO in financially challenging situations and as an operational decision-maker with direct accountability for results.

Implementation sits at the core of his work. Johann has led companies through complex turnaround and value-creation programmes – from developing robust measures and steering complex PMOs to delivering tangible impact in the organisation, earnings and liquidity.

His CFO perspective is particularly relevant in financially challenging situations. Johann has led refinancing processes, financing negotiations, liquidity management, business planning as well as shareholder and lender communication. He combines financial discipline with a clear understanding of what is operationally feasible and credible for stakeholders.

His operational perspective stems from leadership roles with direct accountability – including CEO, CFO, CRO, CTO. He understands what management teams face in critical situations and knows how to anchor restructuring and transformation programmes in running organisations: Pragmatically, structurally and with a clear focus on impact.
