Rico Panzer
@ricopanzer
I deliver complex industrial customer projects, budgets, and AI-enabled workflows across global manufacturing teams.
GermanyWhat I'm looking for
At SEW-EURODRIVE, I own technical and commercial delivery for around 20 strategic industrial accounts, managing 10–20 customer projects annually from requirements through delivery and after-sales clarification.
I've coordinated engineering, production, logistics, sales, suppliers, and manufacturing sites across Finland, the Czech Republic, China, and Brazil. I played a central technical-commercial role in a roughly EUR 60 million customer programme, coordinating three parallel subprojects while managing schedules, scope changes, costs, and customer expectations.
I also build practical AI-supported workflows for quotation and order reconciliation, specification summaries, and spare-parts-list generation to reduce recurring manual effort. My mechanical-engineering background includes robotic gripper development, virtual factory planning, CAD, and automotive product development.
