Senior Market Analyst @ Swisslog (part of KUKA Group) | Market & Competitive Intelligence in Intralogistics & Warehouse Automation

Ulm, Baden-Württemberg, Germany

About

I am currently working in Market & Competitive Intelligence in intralogistics and warehouse automation at Swisslog (KUKA Group). Over 20 years of international experience across B2B and B2C, working with global corporations such as Swisslog, Kardex, Husqvarna/Gardena and Swarovski, as well as small consultancies. I have built market intelligence functions from scratch, including competitor monitoring, market sizing and share analysis, segmentation and decision papers for audiences up to executive level. What I do: - Competitive intelligence across ~20 players, 3 regions and ~30 countries - Market sizing and share analysis, as well as consideration of the macroeconomic context - Segmentation models based on NACE codes, enabling a cross-segment go-to-market approach Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family (father of 3), running, football (licensed youth coach), skiing and in the mountains. I am naturally curious and firmly believe that the right balance of family, work and personal interests is what makes me a "satisfied guy".
