Summary

I am a high-performing, internationally experienced interim manager specializing in the setup and expansion, leadership and restructuring, and turnaround of manufacturing companies, as well as in process optimization along the value chain. I also have solid hands-on experience in introducing lean management philosophy and its tools, and in OpEx methods as a facilitator, trainer and coach.

One of my core strengths is my strong execution capability. I also have the ability to motivate employees and teams and to inspire them toward a common goal.

Through many years of leadership experience in international project management and in leading mid-sized, including family-owned, companies in 'critical situations', I have acquired technical and economic expertise and extensive knowledge in change management, thus achieving sustainable successes.
