What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that fosters collaboration, innovation, and continuous improvement, where I can leverage my project management skills to drive impactful results.

As a dedicated Project Coordinator with over four years of experience, I have honed my skills in issue management and digital operations, particularly in the automotive sector. My recent role at Engineering People GmbH involved resolving over 250 cross-functional quality issues in fuel cell and battery systems, showcasing my ability to drive efficiency and maintain project alignment through effective stakeholder engagement.

My academic background in Operational Excellence, combined with hands-on experience at renowned companies like Daimler Truck AG and Robert Bosch GmbH, has equipped me with a robust understanding of project management methodologies. I excel in using tools like JIRA and Cplace to track project milestones and improve supply chain planning accuracy. My commitment to continuous improvement is evident in my successful migration of over 10,000 records with 100% accuracy and my ability to reduce resolution times by 30% through innovative monitoring techniques.
