Summary

In my almost 20-year career as an employed worker at BMW, I built up skills in a wide range of fields across different areas. As a long-time specialist buyer, I handled all purchasing-related topics such as market analyses, negotiations, requirements, supplier, and supply chain management.

During my several years as a project buyer, with the highlight being department head in the BMW-PSA joint venture start-up "bpce", I also handled the purchasing-side design, alignment, and rollout of processes, purchasing systems, steering tools, and contract management. After moving into international BMW Motorrad sales, I expanded my scope to include reporting, market development, product management, and market and logistics coordination from both tactical and strategic perspectives.

As a trained industrial engineer and industrial clerk with a strong interest in technology and a hands-on mindset, I was able early on to build a bridge between technology and business administration and turn my ability to quickly analyze complex issues into time- and resource-saving improvements. I always start with a thorough initial analysis involving everyone affected and then, in the company's interest, use suitable tools such as BPMN, needs analysis, design thinking, best practice, etc. to reach the goal together in an effective, efficient, and socially acceptable way.

To pursue this path even more strongly, I became self-employed as a consultant in 2019 and was already able to successfully apply and deepen my broad knowledge in several projects in the energy sector. During this time, I also worked as a trainer and coach from employee level up to department head level. In addition, I independently developed a trigger point massage device using CAD design including 3D printing methods and received a German utility model for it.

Privately and professionally, sustainability, resource conservation, environmental protection, and social engagement (e.g. as a parent council member and in a support association) are very important to me. In my private life, my focus is above all on family and friends as well as pursuing my hobbies.
