About

Industrial engineer with 10+ years of experience across Procurement and Consulting, including global leadership roles. I lead the global procurement organization of Siemens Grid Software, with a clear ambition: positioning Procurement as a strategic value creator. My focus is on transforming software and IT sourcing, moving beyond traditional buying to enable scalable, future-ready business models. Together with my team, we build resilient, innovation-driven partnerships that directly support our product and growth strategy. What drives me is shaping the energy transition by enabling grid operators to move toward autonomous grid management.
