Welcome to Reppel Consulting

Fresh Thinking!

Your interim CIO.

For IT strategy, AI

and delivery in mid-sized companies.

Does this sound familiar?

IT costs keep rising, but nobody can say what they deliver for the business.
You depend on service providers whose offers you cannot assess independently.
AI is on the agenda of every management meeting, but there is no plan that brings value and risk together.
An important digital project is running late and over budget.

This is exactly where I come in. I take on IT leadership at eye level with your management: as an interim CIO, as a sparring partner or as the lead of your transformation programme. Personally, independent of vendors and with measurable goals, drawing on leadership roles on both the client and the vendor side, in Germany and in Asia.

Services

01 /

CIO as a Service

C-level IT leadership without a full-time IT executive: strategy, management of service providers, budget and AI governance. Monthly or per project.

02 /

Programme Management

I lead your digital, cloud or AI programme from concept to day-to-day operation, always focused on measurable value, with clear milestones and reporting to management.

03 /

Digital Maturity Index

The starting point: in a few workshops we determine where your company stands on customers, organisation, processes and technology, and where investments pay off.

04 /

IT in Asia

In Singapore and the ASEAN region since 2002: I set up and run the IT of your subsidiary in line with the standards of your headquarters.

AI with a plan, real value and clear rules

Many companies experiment with AI, few use it effectively. I help you choose the right use cases, embed them in your IT strategy and implement them safely. This includes risk assessment, data protection and governance that fits your company, also with a view to the EU AI Act.

How I work

1. Assessment

Where do you stand, and where is the biggest lever? With the Digital Maturity Index or in a compact workshop.

2. Plan

Goals, measures, budget and responsibilities, agreed with management.

3. Delivery

I lead and steer the delivery. Where needed, I bring in experienced partners from my network.

Clients

Client voices

“Though it is rather ‘heavy’ and takes up a lot of time from our daily business, I want to say how much I enjoy these workshops, and I believe we are well on our way to becoming TRULY digital.”

Well-established team with a wealth of knowledge

ANDRITZ has contracted Reppel & Partners for many years. The commitment and skills of the staff have always been outstanding. Frank was personally very involved and always willing to point out best practices, give ideas for improvement and was also always there to go the extra mile to make sure things were achieved according to ANDRITZ GROUP policies. Frank and his team are a well-coordinated team with a lot of experience in IT and bring a great wealth of knowledge to the table.

Successful project

The rapid change in our organisation required a new interaction model with the markets in which we are active. Daimler hired Reppel to develop a concept, including governance. Mr Reppel led a team of consultants who worked closely with our ITI management. Together they defined a restructured communication and demand management. This project was successfully completed.

Technical understanding and negotiating skills

With the help of Reppel and their efficient vendor selection, we were able to set up and connect our new headquarters in the best possible way. We chose Reppel for this extensive project because we were convinced of their technical understanding. During negotiations with the selected vendor, we were able to save an additional 5% thanks to Mr. Reppel's negotiating skills. Frank proposed an aggressive timetable for this project, which was adhered to even when essential specifications were adjusted again during the course.
