Profession
Senior Lead, Administrative Services
& Strategic Programmes
Over a 20-year career "Business Leader" captures my profile best due to the experience I have gained in different business areas of medium-sized companies.
With focus on wholesale, e-commerce and industry, in sports and fashion, metal processing as well as in consulting and IT sectors. The main area of activity is all administrative business processes as well as supporting areas such as controlling, reporting, people & culture, IT
and internal process- & multi-projectmanagement.
In my understanding, a core requirement for a
commercial management function is to further
develop the company on a procedural and technical
level in order to master the increasing complexity and individuality with secure and digital processes that are as automated as possible.
Digitization projects in individual departments, a
company-wide introduction of new software or the
merger of business units are established procedures in which I was able to accompany numerous teams on a project-by-project basis or as responsible leader.
“Who feels too big to carry out small tasks,
is too small to be entrusted with big tasks.”

Administrative Services & Strategic Programmes
Here, a broad range of expertise helps to align, standardize and automate the commercial core processes for the adjacent technical areas and the accompanying support processes in a needs-based and customer-oriented manner. By implementing LEAN methods and CIP mindsets to an appropriate extent, the associated change is supported by all teams and departments which will be restructured or further developed within themselves. In coping with these tasks, in addition to the basic responsibilities of commercial management functions, agile as well as classic project and moderation professionalism, coaching and training skills as well as a cooperative communication style and knowledge of the overall entrepreneurial situation and future objectives helps a lot in achieving sustainable results. Sparring and reporting at management and C-level is indispensable for the conception and implementation of these multi-layered development projects, in which regular fine-tuning contributes to improved alignment.
