Interim CEO & General Manager for Industrial Companies in Transition
Executive Leadership. Measurable Impact.
Eticability provides interim executive leadership to industrial companies facing a turnaround, a restructuring, a leadership gap or an international expansion.
Led by Frédéric Valadoux: 30+ years in manufacturing, up to €250M P&L and 2,500 employees, plants launched in China and restructured in Europe.
Interim Executive Management
Interim CEO, General Manager or COO, operational within days, for a defined mandate and a clear exit.
Turnaround & Restructuring
Plant recovery, restructuring and controlled closure, with customers delivered and stakeholders aligned throughout.
Industrial Excellence
Lean deployment, productivity and cost programmes, rolled out across single plants or multi-site networks.
International Growth
Greenfield plants, regional expansion and Europe–China operations, from business case to start of production.
Industrial Turnaround & Restructuring
From plant recovery to controlled closure, restructuring requires keeping customers delivered, teams engaged and stakeholders aligned at the same time.
Recent example: General Manager of a €180M automotive joint venture, appointed by its shareholders to execute a controlled restructuring and plant closure.
Bridging European Industry and China
Six years based in Dalian as Asia-Pacific Director: revenue tripled from €60M to €160M, two greenfield plants launched, operating model adopted as the Group benchmark.
I help boards and shareholders on both sides, European companies operating in China as well as French companies with Chinese owners, align expectations, governance and operations.
People Leadership & Business Continuity
No turnaround succeeds against the people who run the plant every day. Their know-how is the starting point, not an afterthought.
Clear commitments, transparent communication and decisions that are followed through: this is how teams stay engaged through uncertainty.
