I lead manufacturing plants, improving productivity, quality, capacity, and operational performance.

Germany
Message

I'm leading operations at BORN Senf & Feinkost, managing food production, technology, maintenance, planning, logistics, quality control, and HACCP-focused factory performance.

Previously, I served as Interim Plant Manager at Carpenter Co. and Head of Operations at Röchling Medical, leading teams across polyurethane foam and GMP clean-room medical packaging production. I've owned KPIs, budgets, productivity improvement, capacity, technology management, investment planning, quality standards, and regulatory compliance.

My background also includes production leadership at DS Smith Packaging, Masdar's thin-film solar module plant, and Opel. I bring hands-on Lean, Kaizen, CIP, Six Sigma, FMEA, statistical engineering, project management, and production-system improvement experience.
