I am passionate about tackling challenging meaningful goals in a healthy optimistic company culture and I am happy to meet new people from all around the world to reflect established ways and learn from innovative ideas!
In my work, I am analytical, entrepreneurial and proactive. I combine these strengths with 20 years of experience in Supply Chain Management, Procurement, Operations, and Consulting in Asia, Europe, the Americas and India to make well-balanced sustainable decisions and to set a path that is followed with confidence and conviction.
In my eyes, essential challenges today are to foster teamwork, commitment, and personal growth of everybody involved in a task - leading to sustainable performance improvements.
Some of my most important traits are self-awareness, empathy, integrity, energy, will, and optimism.
I lead by this example.
Highly-functional management skills (e.g. financial acumen, operational excellence, lean methods, project management, procure-to-pay process control, drive for KPIs and P&L improvements) and proven transformational abilities (e.g. purpose-driven leadership, vision and strategy, employee empowerment and participation, motivation for change) help me and my team to overcome challenges successfully.
I am fluent in German, English, Mandarin Chinese and French - and love to learn individual, social and cultural specifics around the globe.
