Globally responsible for the development of the Laboratory segment, with a focus on international market coordination and specification strategy. My emphasis lies in connecting end users, planners, architects and laboratory furniture manufacturers — with the objective of delivering the right solutions, with the right partners, at the right time. With a technical background, international experience and a partnership-driven understanding of sales, I follow a clear approach: creating value and focusing on what truly matters to customers. In short: genuine customer centricity.
Shaping business growth strategically, economically valuable and sustainably – this is my approach to developing innovative business models and processes that align ecology with economic viability. I analyze market trends, identify opportunities, and lead projects to implement sustainable value creation processes, such as closed material loops and recycling strategies. My expertise includes the implementation of international ESG standards as well as the optimization of digital infrastructures to support sustainable operations. Through strategic partnerships and targeted consulting, we drive sustainable transformation forward. I am particularly proud of achieving a significant reduction in raw material deployment per product group for refurbished products.
Embracing sustainability holistically – as the leader of group-wide sustainability management, I developed a comprehensive ESG strategy that integrates circular business models with science-based measures. I successfully achieved Cradle-to-Cradle Gold certification, initiated stakeholder projects, and positioned the company internationally as a pioneer in sustainability.
Quality doesn’t just happen – driven by this principle, I enhanced group-wide quality management systems and implemented lean production methods. My focus was on integrating new business units into existing management systems, digitalizing processes, and optimizing production capacity. Among my greatest achievements are the successful integration of two acquired companies into multi-site certifications systems and the significant reduction of manufacturing costs through Kaizen methodologies.
Improving processes and redefining standards – I optimized processes, monitored quality metrics, and conducted successful supplier audits.
