About Frank Reppel
Hello, my name is
Frank Reppel
Founder, consultant, leader and family man
My biography
As a strategically oriented management consultant, I have strong conceptualisation and implementation skills with many years of experience and expertise in all areas of information technology. By managing high-turnover areas, I have acquired a results and solution orientation that has demonstrably improved the profitability of our clients in projects.
My core competencies lie in the analysis, conception and implementation of projects and programmes in the field of information technology. Other special qualities are internationality and intercultural competence, acquired in numerous projects in the Asian region.
As part of Reppel & Partners (R&P), I have been supporting industrial companies in the operation of their IT for many years. This ranges from IT management activities (CIO services) to setting up and managing a shared service centre for the Asian subsidiaries of a European heavy machinery manufacturer. Within the scope of this activity, I was responsible as Chief Information Officer for the Asia-Pacific region for over 8 years.
In numerous projects, I have conducted analyses within the framework of Industrie 4.0 maturity models. Based on the results, new solutions were then developed together with the customer. These ranged from simple, focused tasks such as the predictive maintenance of a component, e.g. a pump, to highly complex applications such as the design of a digital twin of a complete plant. The development and initial implementation of a new business model based entirely on Industrie 4.0 principles (batch size 1, data-driven navigation and mapping, lights-out manufacturing) is also part of my wealth of experience.
In the education sector, I have carried out a variety of projects. From the selection of specialised partners for the migration of a computer centre to the tendering, selection and introduction of a complete learning management system to the complete process management of an international school, the range of support possibilities here extends.
Through the establishment and management of the Asia-Pacific branch of the AML/KYC software manufacturer Tonbeller AG from Bensheim and the associated customer support, I have also acquired corresponding knowledge in the financial sector and can therefore support with governance, risk and compliance issues in the broadest sense.
Through the broad range of experience described above, I offer our clients a laterally integrative view of vertical and focused solutions (T-shape leadership model).
The high number of returning clients also shows that a close and successful bond has been established time and again, which has enabled the joint success over many years. Key success factors for this may have been the goal-oriented and professional actions as well as the repeatedly successful application of change and transformation principles at the organisational, staff and system levels (People, Process, and Tools).
Based on successful consulting work in German-speaking countries and subsequent 20 years of project implementation as well as many years of consulting mandates in non-European countries, I have developed a high level of intercultural competence. This is combined with proven success in opening up new markets and market opportunities and can be backed up by numerous case studies.
In addition to the competence in interpersonal communication and team leadership that clients have repeatedly emphasised over the years, I can draw on a strong network that is used time and again to deliver solutions that can only be delivered in this form by larger consultancies with the corresponding overhead.
My approach is always individually tailored to the client and their problem and you can expect a proactive approach from me. In any case, the focus of my work is on applicability, market success and maximum customer satisfaction in a rapidly changing environment.
My motivation is the success of my clients. An essential component is the satisfaction of my clients and their customers!
