Andrew Bergmann

Partner

FMCG Food

I am a seasoned expert with over 30 years of experience in various management roles, primarily in medium-sized food companies. For the last 15 years, I have successfully served as CEO and COO. Previously, I built extensive experience across HR, Supply Chain & Operations, and Sales functions.

Throughout my professional life, I have worked for companies undergoing significant changes. In these settings, I contributed to and led strategic alignments, M&A executions, post-merger integrations, and optimization of organizational structures and workflows.

I believe that successful changes are based on a hands-on approach, consistency, and well-structured, results-driven processes. However, without the right people, their support, and clear leadership, change processes often fail to deliver the expected results. As these changes occur in an ever-evolving environment, it’s crucial to regularly review the strategic goals.

With deep experience in the FMCG-Food Industry and hands-on leadership across multiple functions, I help companies navigate substantial change and post-merger phases to achieve their strategic objectives. My support focuses on creating the right structures, aligning the right people, and building the capabilities needed for lasting results

Change is a challenge – with the right leadership and structure, it becomes a platform for value creation. I´m here to support that journey.
