Proud to celebrate our

25th anniversary

 

For 25 years, TF Consulting has specialized in providing highly specialized services to clients in various high-tech industries, particularly in the field of deep tech. Our work focuses on the development – engineering and software development – and implementation of highly innovative products, data-driven services, and platforms, as well as on the transformation and operationalization of new business areas.

Dr. Thomas Fabula: Interim Manager & Strategic Advisor for DeepTech, Transformation & High-Performance Organizations

Why engage us

When organizations face high-stakes transformation – carve-outs, post-merger integration (PMI), product launches, or turnarounds in technically complex, regulated environments – they need a leader who can operate credibly at board level and execute hands-on at the operational level simultaneously. Dr. Fabula has built a 30+ year track record doing exactly that, across automotive, defence, rail, industrial manufacturing, telco, and ICT / cloud sectors.

He is engaged by company owners, managing directors, board members (CEO), and investors, as well as private equity (PE) firms, when:

  • A critical mandate has no room for a learning curve
  • Leadership gaps threaten deal timelines, integration milestones, or delivery commitments
  • Technical and organizational complexity requires someone fluent in both the engineering and the boardroom

PLM as a competitive advantage

What sets us apart

Dual Expertise. As a graduate in physics and a PhD. in microsystems engineering (MEMS), Dr. Fabula has extensive experience in business and corporate management – he understands both a balance sheet and a system architecture diagram.

Pattern Recognition. Having led projects in the automotive, defence, telecommunications, and cloud / ICT sectors, he applies best practices across sectors rather than relying on an industry-specific approach.

Proven under pressure. As a former successful competitive athlete – a member of the national taekwondo team (European champion, Vice-worldchampion) and a mentor of Olympians & Olympic Coaches (2000, 2012, and 2016), he brings a competitive, performance-driven mindset to guiding teams through uncertain situations and tight schedules – and has a proven track record of success in developing and mentoring top talent, both on the mat and in the corporate world.

Independence and loyalty. He acts in a values-driven, responsible, and straightforward manner – and is equally comfortable advising owners and shareholders as he is leading project teams with a hands-on approach.
