Areas of Expertise
Automotive Industry
In close cooperation with the University of Technology in Aachen, Germany, I have been working and doing research on the mobility of tomorrow. My main areas of expertise contain the development and production of electric cars and vans for urban territories and sustainable inner city last mile logistics. I have also worked with many startup companies on new mobility transport solutions like electric scooters, mopeds or e-bikes.
Textile Production Industry
As a co-founder of a textile production company, I gained in-depth experience across the entire textile value chain — from planning, setting up, and optimizing production processes to making strategic investments in machinery and equipment, as well as managing product and production certifications. I gained deep insights into supply chains across Europe and maintained global connections, particularly with partners in Asia.
Operational Excellence
My professional profile is complemented by sound knowledge of lean methods, project management and agile working methods, which help me to master both strategic and operational challenges. My focus lies in holistic process optimization, leading technical teams, and implementing innovative manufacturing strategies in technology-driven environments.

Areas of Expertise
Prototyping Technologies
From ideation to first prototype using agile development approaches to save time and money. Know-how of rapid prototyping technologies such as:
- industrial 3D printing
- 3D laser cutting and welding
- CNC bending
- CNC-milling
- etc.
Flexible Production Systems
Lowering costs of production machinery is vital to meet the growing demand of product diversification. Flexible, connected and smart production technologies can be a solution to increasing complexity.
Product Development & Commercialization
New products must be sustainable through their entire life cycle. From ideation to production to recycling of the product. A holistic understanding of the product is therefore particularly important during the product development phase.
Professional Project management
As a certified Project Management Professional (PMP)® and Professional Scrum Master, I am well-versed in both traditional and agile methodologies—delivering results in dynamic environments. My specialized experience in agile hardware development within the automotive industry has honed my ability to lead complex, fast-paced initiatives. I have further earned a Six Sigma Black Belt, enabling me to drive continuous improvement, optimize processes, and deliver measurable value across all project stages and industries.
