About

With over 20 years of experience in managing complex industrial and infrastructure projects, I bring a strong technical foundation and a clear, results-driven mindset. As Global Head of Industry and Partner, I oversee projects from concept to execution, with a focus on quality, cost, and time. My core competencies include Project Management (PMP), production processes across various industries, civil and structural engineering, as well as claims and contract management. I value structured project leadership, transparent decision-making, and collaborative solutions – across disciplines and industries.
