I help industrial companies lead more effectively, work better together, and make lasting improvements to their processes and production systems. My focus is where value is created: in plants, factories and production-related areas.

This entry brings together my professional experience in freelance consulting, project leadership, coaching, interim management and permanent leadership roles. It represents different roles and career stages, not one continuous freelance assignment.

As a graduate industrial engineer specializing in mechanical engineering, a graduate of an international Lean master's program, and a leader with direct operational responsibility, I combine strong methodological knowledge with hands-on industrial experience. Since 2001, I have worked with the Lean philosophy in both academic and business settings. I have built factories, expanded production networks, led production areas and implemented improvements in complex production and organizational systems.

I work at every level, from the shop floor to top management, and understand the different needs of start-ups, mid-sized companies and large corporations.

Improving production systems and processes My experience includes analyzing, designing and developing industrial production systems. I combine improvements to operational processes with the organizational conditions needed for lasting performance.

Key responsibilities and experience:

Analyzing and developing production processes, value streams and material flows.

Identifying waste, losses, bottlenecks and issues between teams and functions.

Developing, prioritizing and implementing improvement actions together with leaders and employees.

Improving collaboration between leadership levels and functions.

Structuring shift handovers, production meetings and leadership walks.

Aligning KPI dashboards, reporting cascades and escalation paths.

Building action tracking and structured problem-solving into day-to-day work.

Supporting leaders as they put new routines into practice.

Hands-on experience includes recording losses by shift and machine, standard shift leader walks and handovers, and daily production meetings with clear roles and aligned metrics.

Areas of expertise: Shopfloor Management, Daily Management, Visual Management, Performance Management, leadership structures and cross-functional collaboration.

Supporting leaders and teams For me, coaching and leadership development are closely connected to the real work of a company. I support people as they develop a clearer understanding of their leadership role, improve collaboration and deal effectively with specific business challenges.

Key responsibilities and experience:

Supporting leaders with role clarity, prioritization and decision-making.

Reflecting together on leadership behavior, communication and collaboration.

Building ownership and independence in teams.

Enabling leaders to solve problems in a structured way and improve processes.

Areas of expertise: Leadership Coaching, leadership development, team learning, organizational development and learning as part of daily work.

Designing factories, production structures and networks My experience ranges from factory planning and setup to leading and optimizing ongoing production. This allows me to look at planning projects from both a project perspective and the point of view of future operations.

Key responsibilities and experience:

Leading and supporting factory planning and optimization projects.

Developing production structures, layouts and material flows.

Supporting factory construction and the expansion of production networks.

Bringing together the needs of production, logistics, engineering and management.

Taking operational responsibility and leading projects I understand the demands of industrial change not only through consulting but also through my own leadership and delivery responsibilities. This includes leading a large production area and working as Interim COO at a 3D printing start-up.

Key responsibilities and experience:

Assessing operational challenges and prioritizing areas for action.

Leading teams and aligning different functions around shared goals.

Clarifying goals, responsibilities and decision-making paths.

Managing planning, improvement and change initiatives.

Clearly communicating progress, risks and decisions that are still needed.

My current focus: “Mitten ins Werk” Under the brand “Mitten ins Werk,” I bring together my experience in industrial leadership, consulting and coaching in a practical support approach. We start with specific challenges in the company. Together with leaders and teams, I work on processes and on how people lead, make decisions, learn and collaborate.

I work as a player-coach: not commenting from the sidelines, but on site, involved and sharing responsibility. Depending on the situation, I analyze and structure, provide professional input, facilitate, coach or help with implementation. The goal is an organization that can increasingly handle its challenges on its own.

Assignments and ways of working that suit me best I am particularly interested in long-term support for industrial companies, plants and production-related organizations. The focus is on work where operational improvement goes hand in hand with developing leadership and collaboration.

Assignments that suit me particularly well include:

Building and developing leadership structures: shaping roles, accountability, decision-making paths, spans of control, interfaces and regular communication, and making them work in day-to-day operations.

Leadership coaching and sparring: supporting executives, plant managers and operational leaders over an extended period as they address specific leadership and change challenges.

Developing leadership teams: building a shared understanding of leadership, improving collaboration and strengthening cross-functional accountability.

Long-term support for plants and organizations: combining regular on-site presence with coaching, workshops, process improvement and joint reflection.

Developing production and management systems: connecting Lean Management and Operational Excellence with effective leadership routines and independent problem-solving.

Reshaping Shopfloor Management: reviewing existing structures and developing them into a practical system for leadership, communication and improvement.

Building the capabilities of internal leaders and improvement teams: developing skills through real assignments and ensuring they can continue independently.

My preferred way of working combines clear goals with regular work periods in the company and support between visits. The focus is not on taking over internal responsibilities permanently, but on improving the organization’s performance and ability to develop together. I also take on clearly defined project leadership and interim assignments.

Methods and technology I work with Lean principles, value stream and process analysis, structured loss analysis, performance measurement systems, visual management and practical coaching and learning formats. I combine operational data with on-site observations and employees’ experience.

My technology focus is on industrial production processes and how they work together with material flow, data, organization and leadership. My experience includes additive manufacturing, or 3D printing. I also develop AI-powered learning bots as sparring partners for leadership, collaboration and process improvement; my focus is on subject matter, learning design and practical application.

For larger or interdisciplinary assignments, I work with experienced partners from my established network.

International experience and collaboration: Through my studies in Spain and projects in Spain, England, Poland, Switzerland, Austria, Belgium and Mexico, I have gained broad international experience. I am familiar with different ways of working and cultural settings, and build common ground for leadership, collaboration and process improvement. I connect wider company goals with the local needs and experience of people on site.
