Summary

I am an experienced mechanical engineer (Dipl.-Ing.), project manager, and business consultant with a strong focus on process optimization, quality management, and strategic product development. Through my engineering firm Faycestar-Engineering, I help companies in Germany and Europe analyze their processes in a structured way, optimize them, and implement them sustainably – especially to prepare for successful digitalization. My approach is based on the belief that only stable, lean, and controlled processes can be digitized efficiently. With my developed approach "Process 4.0", I support organizations along the entire value chain – from strategic alignment through operational implementation to evaluating results and KPIs. In doing so, I combine classic engineering methods with modern management and digitalization approaches. At the same time, I have been actively working for several years on a VDI project for strategic product planning (SPP), aiming to make product development more efficient, faster, and competitive through the targeted use of digital tools. This experience allows me to look at both technical and strategic questions holistically and turn them into concrete solutions. My professional focus areas are structuring and managing complex projects, building efficient project management and PMO structures, and optimizing business processes in industrial and technology contexts. I work methodically sound, solution-oriented, and with strong execution skills – both in classic project environments and in transformation and innovation projects. I hold solid certifications, including:

  • DGQ Quality Systems Manager
  • Six Sigma Black Belt
  • Lean Management (ASQ-based)
  • EBCL Certified Business Manager
  • GPM Project Manager This combination of technical depth, methodological excellence, and business understanding allows me not only to coordinate projects but also to actively contribute to economic success. I have experience working with interdisciplinary teams, international stakeholders, and external partners, and I bring a strong understanding of interfaces between engineering, management, and digitalization.
