Interim Executive Leadership

When the stakes are high, you need someone in the seat — not just advising. I step into Interim CFO, Integration Lead, or Program Executive roles with full accountability to sponsors, boards, and timelines. Ownership, not oversight.

Transaction Execution

M&A integration, carve-outs, and enterprise separation — buyer or seller side. TSA design, Day 1 readiness, and clean handoffs that keep deals on track and value intact.

Transformation & Turnaround

Operational improvement, finance transformation, and systems modernization. ERP migration, close optimization, FP&A discipline, and process redesign that delivers measurable results.

Stefan Hochegger - Interim CFO and Executive Advisory

Strategic Finance & Operations Executive

I am a strategic finance and operations executive with global experience leading Finance, Accounting, HR, IT, and Supply Chain across multi-site industrial and manufacturing environments in the United States, Europe, and Asia.

I specialize in enterprise systems and end-to-end process enablement, strengthening FP&A discipline, modernizing ERP and reporting platforms, and aligning finance, operations, and technology to support scale, control, and execution.

Through Praxis Aurum, I support organizations on a selective basis with M&A integration, carve-outs, enterprise separation, and post-transaction execution—often in interim executive or program-lead roles where timelines are compressed and outcomes matter.
