Summary

I lead organizations through complex, high-stakes transformations - across digital, supply chain, and organizational systems - using a people-centered, results-driven approach.

With 20+ years of international leadership experience, I’ve delivered large-scale digital and supply chain transformations, lead the business side of SAP implementations, supported M&A initiatives, and guided organizational change across the energy, logistics, and eco-tech sectors. My freelance work spans senior program management, interim leadership, and strategic advisory - achieving measurable results while navigating complexity with clarity and focus.

I specialize in aligning vision, strategy, people and systems to generate the energy required for critical transitions and to ensure business continuity with long-term value. My leadership style blends results-driven execution with conscious, authentic coaching -empowering individuals and teams to bring their full potential into every phase of transformation.

Whether managing € mill digital programs, optimizing operations, or enabling cultural alignment during and post-merger, I help organizations reach their tipping point of renewal - with clarity, purpose, and resilience.
