About

Welcome to my Linkedin profile! I help organizations become sharper, faster, and smarter. With a strong focus on process optimization, digitalization, and Lean Six Sigma, I drive concrete results for businesses. At SPIE, I led regional and national improvement projects with measurable impact: reduced lead times, improved cash flow positions, and KPI structures implemented across all levels of the organization. From strategic advice to hands-on execution including maintenance management and asset-related projects for clients such as ASML. My entrepreneurial mindset means I don't stop at the analysis. I keep going until the improvement is embedded and the organization comes out stronger. Recently, I made the deliberate choice to work as an independent consultant. I want to apply my expertise broadly, move fast, and make direct impact I specialize in: -> Process optimization & Lean Six Sigma -> Digitalization & AI-driven solutions -> Business intelligence -> Organizational development & training Looking for someone to take your organization to the next level?
