PwC's Performance and Restructuring team to be headed by Daniel Steiner
In a significant move, PwC Germany has announced that Daniel Steiner will take over as the leader of the "Performance & Restructuring" team. Steiner, who joined PwC in 2019, brings a wealth of experience from the industry and strategy consulting, having led international turnaround projects.
Steiner's expertise lies in global logistics and supply chain management, with a significant exposure to the automotive and industrial sectors. He has demonstrated strategic and operational leadership, as evidenced by his roles as a moderator at PwC Germany for sessions about smart mobility and automotive industry topics, including digitalization and sustainability. His work has also involved logistics and supply chain management, particularly global trade lanes and contract logistics, with previous leadership experience at major logistics companies such as CH Robinson, Panalpina, and Ceva.
Despite limited information about specific previous automotive or industrial projects, Steiner's roles have demanded operational excellence and strategic project management across global logistics related to these sectors. There is also an indication of his involvement in discussions about mobility and automated vehicles through platforms like PAVE, though he is not directly cited as a presenter there.
Thomas Steinberger, who has built the "Performance & Restructuring" team into one of the leading restructuring consultancies, will continue to be part of the PwC organization, particularly in the automotive sector. The two have been co-leading the team for a year.
