Solutions Consulting Manager – Brands at Coats Digital, helping global apparel and footwear brands navigate digital transformation through PLM, costing, and materials optimization solutions. Fluent in English and German, working across both markets to bridge technical solution design with strategic brand partnerships. Previously spent 8.5 years as Global Account Manager – Central Europe at Coats, managing key strategic accounts and driving commercial growth across the region. In June 2026, I moved into Solutions Consulting to focus more deeply on the technical and strategic side of brand engagement — leading discovery workshops, designing tailored solution architectures, and advising brands on how to maximise value from digital tools throughout the product development and sourcing lifecycle. I enjoy working at the intersection of technology and fashion manufacturing — translating complex business challenges into practical, well-architected solutions, and helping teams bridge the gap between commercial strategy and technical execution.
