I lead global product development, PLM rollouts, and industrialization programs from ideation through delivery.
GermanyWhat I'm looking for
I'm leading ThyssenKrupp Presta's company-wide Teamcenter PLM rollout across nine global sites, aligning R&D, manufacturing, supply chain, and IT. I define product-structure governance across DBOM, EBOM, and MBOM while improving configuration management and SAP integration.
Previously, I owned large-home-appliance lifecycles at Berlin Brands Group and managed international launches, variant roadmaps, technical validation, and launch readiness. At Beko, I led approximately 270 cost-reduction projects that delivered €6M in annualised savings and launched products across seven markets.
My foundation is mechanical engineering and end-to-end new product introduction at BSH and Bosch Thermotechnology. I bring PMP, Six Sigma, Agile/Scrum, Teamcenter, SAP, BOM governance, and hands-on NX design experience to regulated industrial product environments.
