TESTIMONIALS
ANDRITZ
“SSL Consulting has added great value to ANDRITZ in general, as well as for all the team members involved in our collaboration.
Thanks to the broad knowledge of the different organizations in our company, centralized for certain aspects, and perfectly delocalized for others, they quickly helped us to put in place a long-term strategy (5 years vision) with the top Management of ANDRITZ Pumps, while at the same time, working details with the people involved in the project.
SSL Consulting has constantly put the clients/partners and their expectations at the center of our concerns, so that they remain the main focus of our strategy.
They have this extraordinary ability to adapt to different people from our organization, regardless of the cultures and languages ​​of each. It is able to convey an accurate message in a relevant and always very motivating way.
It is with unparalleled pleasure and efficiency that we work with SSL Consulting, especially when analyzing potential candidates for key positions in our global organization.
I personally recommend to any Manager to have the opportunity to develop, jointly with SSL Consulting, the definition of its strategy (human and industrial), including the strict and continuous implementation of it. According my experience, this jointly developed strategy can only be successful in short and long term.”
Christian Dubois, Senior Vice President, ANDRITZ AG
“SSL Consulting helped me develop the leadership excellence of my Management Team when I took over Andritz Metals which was at that time in a phase which required a very tough and serious restructuring process due to lack of new orders and a huge loss.
I appreciate their dedicated and straightforward way of guiding us as a Management Team to improve our leadership excellence considering the 4E leadership principles (energy, energize, edge, execute). We developed a systematic way all way down from vision, strategy, MWB (must win battles) and concrete action items always focusing on the main things in order to be successful in such a change process.
SSL Consulting has a clear and systematic way of working. They have based on their broad experience a very good understanding of people’s behavior/competences and is fast in his deliveries.

DHL GLOBAL FORWARDING, DHL FREIGHT & DHL SUPPLY CHAIN
“During the last 1½ years I have been fortunate enough to have had Soren as part of both my professional and not the least my personal network. After meeting Soren – actually by coincidence through a mutual friend in Basel – he offered me a meeting to discuss the future. Something I later learned, that in the language of Soren, this meant, that he wanted to guide and mentor me both professionally and personally. During the time I have known Soren he has therefore been a mentor, an advisor, a “guidance counselor” and none the least a friend. Soren has been a sparring partner for me in a period of my professional life, where the shift from specialist to leader resulted in some professional hardship. Soren’s ability to pose the right questions has made that journey a lot easier. But Soren has not only “interfered” professionally. His ability within professional sparring and mentoring also transfer into the personal sphere; where Soren’s advice has helped me in getting one or two things straight in my mind.”
