ABOUT ANDRE WEISZ
Thriving in complex, high-pressure environments is where I add the most value. Whether navigating market disruption, cost pressures, margin erosion, or cultural transformation—I lead bold strategies that drive sustainable growth, unlock profitability, and mobilize high-performing, cross-cultural teams.With over 20 years of executive leadership, I’ve built a global track record across the automotive, consumer durables, retail, and mobility industries, transforming businesses from the inside out—both in global multinationals and family-owned firms. From turnarounds and strategic repositioning to complex M&A, carve-outs, and operating model redesigns, I integrate vision with hands-on execution.At a S&P 500 company, I led Global Business Transformation, orchestrating cross-functional programs that released capital and reshaped the company’s footprint. As CEO of Goodyear DACH, I revitalized a $1B+ business with 5,700 employees, restored profitability to record levels, achieved historic employee engagement, and scaled a disruptive go-to-market model that generated hundreds of million in new revenue while expanding a franchise network to nearly points of sale—self-funding growth in the process.Fluent in five languages, I bring deep cross-cultural experience across EMEA, Latin America, and North America, and have worked closely with Boards and Executive Committees to align business strategy with market realities and operational excellence. I hold a PhD in Marketing, an MBA, and a Master\'s in Engineering, blending technical rigor with strategic foresight.Currently serving as a Non-Executive Board Member, I advise organizations on leadership, growth strategy, and transformation. I\'m passionate about sustainable success, customer-centricity, and unlocking enterprise value through clarity, courage, and collaboration.I’m always keen to expand my network and exchange insights on growth, transformation, and value creation in today’s competitive landscape.
