Sebastian Bretag has more than 15 years of experience in restructuring and general management as well as interim management.

In recent years, Sebastian Bretag has supported medium-sized companies and private equity firms as a ‘trusted advisor’ in solving difficult management tasks when the company lacks its own resources or experience, especially in transformation and transition situations as well as in the permanent filling of key positions. Before joining KEYPLAYER as Managing Director, he held several partner and senior management positions at leading consulting firms, most recently at a market-leading interim provider. As an interim manager, he himself held management positions in high-end medium-sized companies in Germany and abroad, where he was responsible for the implementation of transformation and profit improvement programs, e.g. for a well-known German FMCG group in Asia, a logistics group in the UK and for medium-sized holdings of international private equity companies and also for DAX30 companies as part of carve-outs.

Sebastian Bretag holds an MBA from London Business School, Columbia University New York and Hong Kong University and teaches at the Frankfurt School of Finance and Management in his spare time. He has also lived and worked on three continents during his career. As a former competitive athlete, he has learned that you can only be excellent at something you are passionate about and live it 100%. KEYPLAYER bears his signature today and stands for this claim.
