About

As the Head of Controlling, Concepts & Analytics at FIEGE, a leading European logistics provider with over 150 locations and approximately 25,000 employees, I am committed to driving strategic financial insights and fostering a data-driven performance culture. With more than a decade of experience in finance/controlling, strategy and business development, I have collaborated with EuroStoxx, DAX, and SME companies across various industries. In my current role, I lead a team of experts to develop and implement advanced controlling concepts, standardized calculation tools, and management-controlling systems. My focus is on enhancing organizational efficiency and strategic decision-making through comprehensive financial analysis and scenario planning. As INSEAD alumnus and former McKinsey consultant, I bring a deep understanding of business strategy and financial management. My educational background in Industrial Engineering Management with a major in finance and production provides a robust technical and analytical foundation. I have successfully led numerous projects focusing on market entry, growth, and digital transformation, consistently delivering substantial value and impact. My expertise also includes driving M&A activities, cost reduction initiatives, and structural change projects. Beyond my primary role, I serve as an executive coach, mentoring leaders and teams to achieve their objectives and unlock their potential. Fluent in three languages, I thrive in diverse and multicultural environments, adeptly navigating complex challenges with strategic insight and precision. #Controlling #FinancialAnalysis #DataDriven #Leadership #StrategicPlanning #PerformanceManagement #BusinessStrategy #Logistics #Innovation #MergersAndAcquisitions #DigitalTransformation #ExecutiveCoach #GlobalBusiness #MulticulturalTeams #INSEADAlumni #McKinseyAlumni
