About me

Strategies that work.
Results that deliver.

With over 30 years of experience at C-level in family-owned businesses and international brand companies, I support organizations in strategy development, growth initiatives, and transformation processes. The focus of this work includes the automotive, cosmetics, jewelry & watches, fashion, luxury, and consumer goods sectors.

I work with family businesses, mid-sized companies, and start-ups on brand positioning, growth strategy, organizational development, and transformation - serving as a consultant, interim manager, or advisory board member.

Fabian Krone – Executive Advisor & Interim Manager with international C-level experience in brand management, transformation, and growth

I am an executive advisor and interim manager with more than 30 years of experience in the strategic and operational leadership of brand-driven and family-owned businesses in an international context, including Europe, the United States, Asia, and the Middle East).

Having served as CEO and executive, I understand first-hand what distinguishes successful companies. In my own work, this has consistently meant entrepreneurial responsibility, clear decision-making, and disciplined execution - from strategic concept to measurable results.

Today, I act as an implementation-oriented sparring partner for C-level executives with a clear focus on transformation, growth, process and cost optimization, and brand management. I work with family-owned businesses, SMEs, private equity firms, and start-ups to further develop business models, organizations, and brands - bringing clarity, focus, and sustainable impact.

My approach combines strategic clarity, entrepreneurial thinking, and operational excellence. I work closely with owners and management teams as an equal partner to identify potential, set priorities, and make success measurable.

I develop brands that not only perform well, but also shape their markets. 

My focus is on guiding companies through transformation, growth, and internationalization with clear strategy, entrepreneurial understanding, and consistent execution. The objective is not only to manage brands, but to make them economically successful and relevant over the long term.
