I lead organisations across sites and countries, stabilise critical operations and implement change alongside the teams while day-to-day operations continue.
Operational leadership. Strategic clarity. Focused execution.
When delivery performance, costs and the need for change all demand attention, I combine an end-to-end supply chain perspective with operational responsibility.
Align demand, capacity and inventory. Make competing objectives visible and enable sound decisions across sales, procurement and production.
↗Manage warehouse processes, organisations and service providers. Support transformations, site changes and operational bottlenecks while the business keeps running.
↗Use OTIF, OTD, inventory, productivity and costs as a shared basis for management. Link actions to accountable owners and measurable impact.
↗Bridge leadership gaps, align organisational structures and guide teams through change. Connect strategy with operational decisions.
↗The starting point depends on your situation. Critical issues receive immediate attention, while structural improvements follow clear priorities.
Understand the situation, contain risks and safeguard daily operations. Establish transparency and a reliable rhythm for decision-making.

Read on LinkedIn (German) ↗When there is a leadership vacancy, a critical operational situation or a transformation with a defined timeframe. Scope, responsibility and duration are tailored to the assignment.
In our first conversation, we discuss your situation, key objectives and urgency. We then define the assignment's scope, decision-making authority and next steps.
