My career covers both OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers. I have worked for companies such as Ford, Daimler, VW, Porsche, BMW, Volvo, Cummins, Continental, Johnson Controls, and Yanfeng.
Managing series launches, complaint handling, test equipment management, as well as customer and supplier support in an international environment are part of my daily work. My technical background as a mechanical technician and my extensive experience in audits (according to ISO 9001, IATF 1649, ISO 14001, ISO 19011) complete my profile.
I work in a structured, solution-oriented way and bring a high level of initiative. I keep my knowledge up to date through continuous training, most recently in areas such as sampling, complaint processing, Six Sigma, and VDA-Core Tools.
