Extensive Experience and Expertise in Operations
I am a seasoned, globally active senior executive with over 25 years of proven success across all facets of operations (Plan, Source, Make, Deliver) in diverse industries – ranging from high-tech and semiconductors to consumer goods, hardware, and fittings – and in global corporations (including a DAX company, family-owned businesses, and brand manufacturers). 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.

Excelling in Change and Crisis
As a committed change agent, I have consistently and successfully driven change and transformation at every level. In addition to leading large teams in inline functions, I successfully headed major outsourcing initiatives, carve-out, and M&A integration projects. 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.

People Are Key
People are the driving force behind every success. My passion for working with people – recruiting, inspiring, leading, motivating, and developing employees and teams – has shaped my 25+ years of experience in line, matrix (worldwide, complex, multicultural), and project organizations.

Building on this foundation, I support you in strengthening your organization – especially in times of change and crises – through:

• Strategy development and deployment
• Operational excellence / Lean management
