IT & Digitalization

Family businesses are the backbone of our economy and society. They embody values built over generations – yet today they face massive pressure: regulatory complexity, disruptive technologies such as AI, and the growing dominance of global digital corporations threaten their competitiveness and independence. I empower entrepreneurs to actively shape this transformation, preserve their company’s DNA, and secure their role as vital pillars of society.

My Value driven approach combines strong leadership with the energy from within the organization. It creates clarity, delivers quick wins, and ensures sustainable change – without the weaknesses of traditional top-down consulting. Supported by a diagnostic model, we set the right priorities at the right time and keep orientation throughout the transformation.

This approach works wherever transformation under high pressure and complexity is required. It is transferable to other types of organizations and proves effective when transformation needs to be initiated, accelerated, or brought back on track.

With more than 25 years as a CEO leading digital transformations, turnarounds, and growth initiatives, I know the challenges firsthand. I bring clarity, focus, and hands-on execution to help organizations thrive in a world shaped by disruption and complexity.

Automotive Seating, Interior & Safety

As a Partner at Brandt & Partner, I help automotive companies navigate complex transformations and drive sustainable, global growth. With over 20 years of international leadership, I offer deep expertise in Program and Supply Chain Management, focusing specifically on automotive seating/interiors and passive safety systems.

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.
