Mathias Schmelter
Partner
Automotive Seating, Interior & Safety
My career highlights include launching multiple production facilities across Europe, North America, and Asia, managing large-scale supply chain operations, and overseeing multimillion-euro program budgets. I’ve enabled organizations to scale from €450M to €1.5B by implementing robust Program Management standards, introducing KPI-driven processes, and reorganizing teams for enhanced efficiency and customer focus.
My work extends beyond Software-Defined Vehicles (SDV). I collaborate with clients to develop innovative partnership models, streamline operations, and align strategy with execution. By combining a global perspective with a hands-on, results-oriented approach I help businesses turn complexity from a competitive advantage into a collaborative advantage, unlocking long-term performance.
Oliver Jones
Partner
Automotive & Semiconductors / Product-driven Transformation
From initial concept to mass production, I have developed solutions for global markets, spanning consumer electronics to safety-critical automotive components. Throughout my career, I have honed a diverse set of functional skills, including global business development, innovation, partnership programs, mergers and acquisitions, product and project lifecycle management and technical marketing.
I specialize in assisting and coaching executives and organizations in transitioning from project-driven cultures to value-added product-driven mindsets. This includes navigating and supporting the cultural and process changes essential for sustained success.

Lighting, Semiconductors, and High-Tech
My focus:
Executive Search – finding the right leaders to drive growth.
The best companies aren’t just built on great products – they’re built on great people. I help businesses identify high-impact talent, aligning leadership with strategy, culture, and long-term success.
Enterprise Health & Organisational Efficiency – fixing what’s holding your company back.
Hidden inefficiencies drain time, money, and talent. The Enterprise Health Program uncovers these gaps through data-driven diagnostic, and delivers structured solutions to improve leadership, processes, and team effectiveness.
Where I add value:
I combine deep industry insight with hands-on execution. I’m often described as the “engine” behind transformational initiatives – bringing the right people together, tackling inefficiencies head-on, and helping companies move forward with clarity and confidence.
