Zusammenfassung

an international and cross-cultural leader in process & organizational optimization that delivered performance improvements up to 50%.

I have a deep knowledge of Lean Management (including McKinsey’s 5 lenses approach, TPS), Six Sigma, Re-engineering and transformations in manufacturing and service companies. Occasionally I'm a key-note speaker on these topics.

I led project teams with subject matter experts that improved constraints in organizations and processes by using an extended toolkit of methodologies.

I supported and advised Executive and Senior Management Teams to transform organizations into successful enterprises that serve their customers better and are great places to work.
