about me

I am a trained technician and have been able to continually expand my understanding of this. After studying production engineering, I worked for many years in QA and QM, where I was taught the knowledge of process reliability and excellence. As an external auditor for ISO 9001, I practiced potential analysis in an appreciative manner and directly with the customer. My 15 years as a COO were strongly influenced by the current topics of Industry 4.0 and sustainability work. Digitalization, automation, lean management, factory planning and sustainability are part of my solution-finding process.
