What I'm looking for

I am seeking a senior operations or program role where I can lead cross-functional lifecycle programs, reduce inventory exposure, and translate strategic decisions into executable plans while driving measurable financial and operational improvements.

I am a product and program operations leader with deep experience executing NPI and EOL programs, designing lifecycle governance, and reducing inventory financial exposure across multinational manufacturing sites in EMEA. I have translated portfolio decisions into executable supply, capacity, and material strategies while delivering measurable financial impact, including €24M+ exposure reduction and sustained SLOB value declines.

I lead cross-functional teams to drive disciplined delivery—governing data accuracy, audit-proof documentation, executive reporting, and multi-site coordination—while maintaining high service levels and enabling cost avoidance during launches. I combine strong technical tools knowledge (SAP MRP, RELEX, Power BI, Excel) with stakeholder alignment to improve balance sheet quality and operational resilience.
