About

With more than 30 years of experience in logistics for various industries and my background in international management, I am an enthusiastic and goal-oriented leader who develops complex supply chain strategies and leads them to success. Thereby I convince with a very good communication on top management level. I motivate and convince my team with a vision of business development and a strategic roadmap, including new ideas, innovations and digital solutions. This is in line with my passion for logistics at the highest quality level. In doing so, I communicate with my broad understanding of all areas of the supply chain, as well as contract logistics with partners from other business units and service providers. A constant exchange guarantees my clear attitude to constantly question old approaches and to go new ways if necessary. I am proud to be able to measure success by customer satisfaction; on the way to improve the bottom line.
