Operational excellence and lean management are embedded in my professional DNA. I rely on a comprehensive set of tools and methods including Six Sigma, Kaizen/Continuous Improvement, value stream mapping, the pull principle, theory of constraints, FMEA, and process optimization.

From maintaining the global value chain during temporary insolvency to securing supply chains throughout the Covid-19 pandemic, accepting and successfully overcoming crisis challenges is a hallmark of my career.
