I specialize in quality management, budget control, vendor management, and stakeholder management in highly regulated sectors like pharmaceuticals, medical technology, and automotive. I have successfully led complex projects such as production and ramp-up processes, receivables management, GMP-compliant solutions, and launching corporate identities. I’m well-versed in project management tools (e.g. MS Project, Primavera) and SAP systems. I think logically, strategically, and with a strong customer focus, and I can manage multiple projects effectively at once.
