Procurement & Supply Chain Specialist

I solve what gets stuck in procurement, logistics and operations.

I support mid-sized and growing companies in identifying and removing bottlenecks along their value chain - for example in chaotic procurement processes, stalled logistics or overwhelmed daily operations.

My work is based on 15+ years of leadership experience in international supply chains, medical technology and the event business.

In 2025, I founded Ultreia: a workshop format that helps companies turn vague project ideas into concrete, actionable roadmaps.

I don’t sell effort, I sell results, and I build my consulting model exactly around that.

If your company is growing but your processes can't keep up: let's talk.

From chaos to flow. Container by container, country by country.

In this role, I was responsible for building and scaling the supply chain and logistics structures for IRONMAN’s growing European business. With over 40 events per year and constant material flow across borders, the challenge was to create structure without losing speed.

• Established a functional Europe-wide logistics model for event materials
• Introduced practical tools for forecasting, cost tracking and material planning
• Worked closely with country teams to standardize processes while considering local conditions

This role was my entry into the international event business: I learned how to get systems moving without overloading them – and how important trust and reliability are in day-to-day operations.

My first real leadership role: the place where I learned what makes a good team.

At BIT Group’s German site, I led a team of 12 and managed a purchasing volume of around €30 million.

This role marked my transition from expert to leader, with responsibility for people, suppliers and results.

• Reduced inventory levels by approx. 20% through better planning and leaner processes
• Optimized ordering and logistics processes to improve delivery reliability and reduce excess stock
• Worked closely with production to better connect material availability and production flow

Here I learned how to lead, prioritize, and get systems running. Many of the foundations of my consulting work today come from this time.

A crash course in structured problem solving across four functions and two continents.

I started at Heidelberg in the 'Graduate Development Program', a structured trainee program with project-based assignments in key business areas. Each assignment was hands-on, cross-functional, and had real impact...my first in-house consulting experience.

• Purchasing: Assisted sourcing for a new product line with unusual volumes and a high share of external manufacturing – my entry into strategic procurement thinking
• CRM rollout (Mexico): Took full ownership of rolling out a new CRM system from process mapping to training on site, in Spanish, and in close coordination with local management
• Strategy project: Contributed to a market study on customer productivity in the 'Product Strategy' team
• Production planning: Analyzed optimization potential for low-volume/high-mix products using lean principles and one-piece flow

Dealing with ambiguity, structuring problems, thinking cross-functionally. All of this shaped me early on and still guides my work today.
