ABOUT MICHEL RACKOW
Value Creation in Infrastructure & Energy Projects, Industrial Manufacturing, and Process Industries.Leveraging 23 years of operational experience partnering with leadership, sales and operational teams, I position Finance as a trusted business partner. I drive transformations to unlock organisational efficiency and effectiveness, enabling all teams and functions to deliver impact across PE-backed and Matrix organisations. Shaped by buy-and-build environments at RWE DEA and by capex-intensive, M&A-driven industries, my work centres on advanced cash flow modelling, economic scenario analysis, disciplined working capital management and capital allocation - ensuring liquidity and transparency required for bank financing and exits. Safeguarding multi-billion-dollar infrastructure projects and M&A transactions, I leverage a two-dimensional PMI-based risk management innovation designed at Siemens to structurally double operational response capability. With full P&L accountability across 8 countries, including 7 production sites, SKUs across value-added and commodity products, I lead 460 employees as Managing Director Germany, navigating complex customer dynamics and raw material driven supply chains.I led a post-merger integration in London and, together with my teams, integrated legal entities into business units. I designed and implemented with my teams commercial excellence at Orbia into SAP analytic clouds, steering profitability and asset utilisation which delivered double digit EBITDA contribution.
