About

I’m a results-focused Global Category Manager with 10+ years in supply chain and procurement for international companies. I lead cross-functional CapEx projects and own end-to-end procurement across global markets, delivering pragmatic strategies and leading multi-million-€ investments. I combine commercial clarity with a people-first, hands-on approach — clear communication, trusted stakeholder partnerships and practical mentoring to unlock value.
