I take responsibility when technical projects become critical.
And I develop solutions when none exist yet – all the way to stable implementation in operation.
Support for plant managers, CTOs and technical managing directors.
I support decision-makers facing demanding technical challenges – especially when projects are under pressure or a solution is needed at short notice. And it doesn't stop at analysis and concepts: I work until the solution runs stably in operation.
Before that, more than six years in senior engineering roles at an international automotive supplier – from process engineering to group-wide responsibility for materials & processes. Positions in research (mass spectrometry) and electronics development complete the profile.
- Production launches are not going to plan
- Scrap, costs or lead times are escalating
- Processes are unstable or do not scale
- A prototype is needed at short notice
- Strategically important projects lack internal backing
Two areas that belong together in practice.
Industrialisation & project stabilisation
When projects become critical in execution and fast, well-founded decisions matter.
- unstable production launches
- high scrap rates and inefficient processes
- lack of scalability
- unclear responsibilities between engineering, production and management
Prototypes & technical solutions
Functional prototypes when requirements are unclear or internal capacity is lacking.
- functional prototypes instead of display models
- 3D printing with engineering and high-performance materials
- material selection and design for manufacturing
- integration of technical functions
Technical depth, business thinking and operational leadership.
- PhD in Chemistry, magna cum laude (Humboldt University of Berlin)
- Dipl.-Ing. Industrial Engineering – Technical Chemistry (JKU Linz, with distinction)
- Mag. Business Administration (JKU Linz)
- more than 6 years of leadership responsibility at a Tier 1 automotive supplier (most recently group-wide, around 40 employees)
- Member of the engineer certification commission of TÜV Austria
- Area of responsibility regularly audited to IATF 16949 and in customer audits
That's why I never assess technical topics in isolation, but always with a view to feasibility, economics and implementation.
