About Soheil Makdessi

I am an executive with a strong operational identity — shaped by years spent close to production, people, and real-world delivery.


I have led through complexity, pressure, and transformation in industrial environments where results mattered more than titles.


My leadership style is direct, pragmatic, and grounded in daily execution — whether operating at executive level, site leadership, or embedded with line managers and operators.
I am trusted for my ability to create clarity in uncertainty, establish structure under pressure, and align organizations around what actually needs to happen — on the floor and in the boardroom.

How I Work in Practice

I am brought in when organizations need immediate operational leadership — embedded, hands-on, and accountable for delivery.

My work spans interim executive roles and mandate-driven assignments where I operate close to the organization, working hands-on with management teams, line leaders, and operators to stabilize execution, align leadership, and deliver results.

  • Interim executive mandates across operations and industrial leadership
  • Hands-on operational leadership in complex industrial environments
  • Advisory and board-level support directly linked to execution

Typical Mandates I’m Brought Into

  • Rapid stabilization of underperforming sites (delivery, output, governance)
  • Industrial scale-ups and production ramp-ups under time pressure
  • Operational restructurings and leadership realignments
  • Factory transfers, consolidations, and site-critical transitions
  • Establishing operating rhythm and leadership cadence (daily / weekly governance)
  • Structured handover and capability transfer to permanent leadership

Working with Owners & Boards

I work as an extension of ownership — always grounded in the operational reality. My role is to translate strategic intent into daily execution, ensure pace and accountability at leadership level, and stay close to the operation where value is actually created.


I am a Certified Board Member, bringing a structured governance perspective to situations where execution, ownership alignment, and decision-making quality are critical. This strengthens my work with owners, boards, and executive teams during transformations, restructurings, and high-stakes operational phases.


Boards and owners value my ability to move seamlessly between shop floor, management team, and boardroom — ensuring decisions are grounded, execution is followed through, and results are delivered with long-term value creation in mind.
