Short profile

Intro
My expertise is the professional order processing from customer orders to delivery. To do this, I work as COO, plant manager and quality manager or as the responsible manager for special and challenging projects. In addition to my technical experience, I also offer strategy work in a commercial context with medium-term planning. In recent years, as part of the Industry 4.0 initiative, I have driven digitalization in the production, QM and SCM areas. In addition to OEE and SCM solutions, AI applications for worker assistance and quality assurance were also developed. I can demonstrate numerous experiences and awards on the subject of sustainability. In 2020, my team and I received the "Green Factory" award for Austria's most sustainable factory. Our Clean Production was able to demonstrate massive decarbonization. Since autumn 2024, I have been responsible for an interim mandate for the restructuring of an industrial company.
