Summary
Industrial Engineer (B.Eng.) with technical training as an aircraft mechanic and an MBA in Security and Disaster Management. For over ten years, I have advised and supported project, process and transformation initiatives in aviation and air freight, automotive, and high-precision manufacturing. I have been self-employed since 2021. My strength is my broad experience: I manage projects with a focus on business results and report up to board level, work with technical development suppliers as an equal partner, and work just as closely with operational processes in warehouses, factories and cleanrooms. As a freelance lecturer at Hochschule Fresenius, I teach bachelor's and master's modules on project, program and product management, leadership and collaboration, and quantitative decision-making. I am looking for projects in project, process and methods consulting, as well as project management training and coaching, preferably in aerospace, defense, logistics and critical infrastructure.
