Summary
Efficiency isn't coincidence – it's the result of well-thought-out processes and consistent action. With over 30 years of experience in logistics – including roles as managing director and project lead – I'm a specialist in contract logistics, export packaging, warehouse planning, and successfully building complex logistics sites. My focus is on technical innovation, process stability, and operational excellence. As an interim manager, I support companies in realigning logistics structures, digitizing processes, scaling sites, or swiftly tackling operational challenges. Companies benefit from immediately effective practical know-how, structured leadership at eye level, and the ability to implement robust solutions even under high time and efficiency pressure. I bring in my thirty years of professional experience – as managing director, project manager, system integrator, change manager, and sparring partner at plant manager and corporate levels.
