Summary

Over the past 20 years, I have been successfully implementing entrepreneurial strategies with a focus on establishing sustainable process structures and best practices, laying the foundation for highly profitable growth. In doing so, I have drawn on my expertise in aerospace engineering and additive manufacturing, as well as my broad expertise in engineering, sales, account management, business development, strategic consulting and general management. As a German-American with extensive global experience, I have developed a great passion for leadership positions that require a high level of interpersonal skills, deep technical expertise and highly collaborative approaches. As a leader, I have always focussed on highly dynamic industries with multicultural environments and complex challenges.

Successfully completing my American-German Executive MBA (2021-2023), I have shown proof of an unwavering commitment to continuous personal and professional growth, leveraging latest academical expertise, cutting-edge strategies and frameworks together with the peers , superiors and customers I serve. With my entrepreneurial acumen, my deep technical, business and commercial expertise, and my focus on creating highly energetic, constructive and positive work environments, I see myself well equipped for the next growth challenge.
