I am a senior interim manager and consultant with over 40 years of experience in operations, supply chain management, and business process improvement. My strength lies in bridging daily operations with strategic change initiatives. I am both analytical and pragmatic and enjoy working in complex environments where structure and transformation are required.
My core competencies include:
  • Process design and optimization: From high-level process analysis to hands-on implementation, I help organizations simplify, standardize, and improve operational flows across sales, manufacturing, logistics, and procurement.
  • ERP implementations and integrations: I have led and supported multiple full-cycle ERP projects (SAP, JD Edwards, Business Central, Dynamics 365), often in international and multi-site settings.
  • S&OP and planning: Forecasting, demand planning, and sales & operations planning are central themes in many of my assignments. I work closely with business and IT to ensure robust planning processes and tools.
  • Change management: I manage transitions across people, processes, and systems. I am able to win support at all levels of the organization by being clear, direct, and result-oriented.
  • KPI and data governance: I design and implement KPI frameworks and have deep experience with material master data, BoMs, and variant configuration processes to improve data quality and usability.
Industries I have worked in include FMCG, food & beverage, pharma, chemicals, manufacturing, and logistics. My assignments often involve complex stakeholder management, international teams, and tight timelines. Clients appreciate my reliability, structured approach, and ability to quickly get to the heart of the matter.
