Nils Honold

I am a strategic and hands-on executive with a collaborative approach to developing, transforming, and leading international service organizations to surpass benchmarks for growth and profitability. I am able to boost performance by developing and executing clear, actionable strategic plans, building exceptional teams, and managing P&L with accountability and financial discipline. My international career began in project and marketing management and advanced to the senior executive level, giving me an opportunity to learn about the complexities and opportunities that exist in all aspects of business such as customer services operations, sales and marketing, supply chain, as well as finance and controlling, and HR. I bring tremendous energy and commitment to my work—and I am focused on empowering teams that genuinely care about the company and its success. Together, we face challenges, overcome obstacles, and uncover opportunities for growth, change, and continuous process improvement. At the same time, I am bilingual, multicultural, and able to think globally while strengthening the core of a business at the local and regional levels. A few accomplishments: -- Developed and led a team to restructure and grow the North American service operations of an international steel-making equipment manufacturer based in Germany. Increased revenue more than 8x within seven years through strategic growth planning, disciplined P&L management, team building, and business development. -- Facilitated several mergers and acquisitions. -- Maintained large-scale P&L accountability. -- Revitalized sales organizations, entered new markets, and collaborated with executives and team members to drive profitability by leading marketing and business development, cost savings, process restructuring, and operational improvements.
