Michael Müller

Head of Supply Chain Management @ Studer Cables AG

About

I thrive in environments where positive leadership, continuous improvement, and strategic problem-solving make a measurable impact. I am now ready to take the next step, contributing to an organization that values operational excellence, innovation, and responsible growth. As the Director of Operations at HUBER+SUHNER Astrolab, I managed manufacturing in two sites in New Jersey, USA and Costa Rica, overseeing a team of over 100 professionals. My responsibilities include end-to-end supply chain management, production engineering and technology, and serving markets in the air, space, and defense business. I have a strong background in supply chain management, with experience in procurement, inventory management, production planning, and distribution. I hold an EMBA from HWZ Hochschule für Wirtschaft Zürich and a Master of Advanced Studies in Supply Chain & Operations Management from ZHAW School of Management and Law. I am passionate about teamwork, optimizing processes, improving efficiency, and delivering high-quality products to our customers.
