I’m Christoph Meinert, founder of Beyond Finance Partners. With two decades of international leadership experience across Europe and Asia, I have built my career by transforming finance functions across diverse Life Science industries into strategic engines of innovation and growth. My journey has taken me from CFO roles in dynamic emerging markets to leading global financial strategy for R&D at Bayer, always with a focus on impact, innovation, and inclusion.

At Beyond Finance Partners, I bring together the depth of strategic consultancy with the agility and impact of interim management. I understand that for Life Science companies, financial transformation is necessity for sustainable growth. Whether you are scaling up, navigating change, or redefining your business model, I am here to deliver and execute hands-on solutions that drive measurable outcomes, fast.

With a strong background in financial planning and analysis (FP&A), M&A, restructuring and business transformation, as well as 1000+ hands-on hours in machine learning, data science and generative AI, I combine strategic thinking with data-driven execution. I have led cross-functional teams, overhauled financial processes, governance systems and tools, and pioneered beyond budgeting financial models that improve adaptability and unlock innovation.

But more than anything, I believe in people. In building high-performing, empowered teams through empathy, inclusion and vision: I believe that “Purpose drives Motivation. Motivation drives Performance”. Connecting everyday work to a larger purpose enables peak performance. That is why I go beyond traditional consulting by becoming part of my Client’s purpose and vision to unlock true financial transformation.

If you are ready to take your finance function beyond the numbers - towards real business impact - lets talk.
