In addition, he was responsible for the introduction of ERP systems and supported the integration of group processes and IFRS reporting in the course of the sale to Lindab Sweden.
Today, Markus Drechsler contributes his experience to the Abacus Group’s investment controlling department. His focus is on clear structures, reliable figures and dependable management of the portfolio companies.
“The quote ‘A goal without a plan is just a wish’ by Antoine de Saint Exupéry describes my work approach perfectly. Because planning, structure and consistent implementation form the basis of my work in investment controlling at Abacus alpha.”
