Michael Koch

Experienced and people-focused CFO with over 25 years of expertise in growth, professionalisation and digital transformation. I combine a strong financial foundation with a keen eye for culture, collaboration and clear communication. I am energised by translating strategy into understandable and actionable financial frameworks, and by building teams that work together based on trust and ownership.

Throughout my career, I have led multiple organisations through significant growth phases and change programmes. This includes scaling operations, establishing future-proof financial structures and implementing digital improvements that truly support teams. Revenue growth, cost optimisation and organisational professionalisation have been key themes—always balanced with the human side and a clear long-term vision.

I am used to working closely with diverse stakeholders—from shareholders and strategic partners to operational teams—and I enjoy sharing financial insights in a way that provides direction, creates momentum and strengthens decision-making. In addition, I bring extensive experience in guiding complex projects such as system implementations, tenders and organisational transitions.

With my background in strategy, governance and digital innovation, I aim to contribute to an organisation where culture and development are central. Management Drives’ mission to make drives visible and help organisations collaborate more effectively aligns seamlessly with that ambition. As CFO, I am committed to connecting financial health, growth and human development—enabling the organisation to further expand its impact, scalability and long-term resilience.
