About

Shaped by curiosity and a passion for holistic transformation, I’ve spent over two decades working at the intersection of industry and academia. From education to international business, my goal is to connect disciplines, inspire new thinking, and help organizations shape a sustainable future. As Professor for International Industrial Sourcing & Sales and closely engaged with industry networks, I work with companies, leaders, and students to turn sustainability from a compliance topic into a strategic driver of innovation, competitiveness, and long-term value. My work bridges supply chains, technology, education, and human development — because real transformation is never just technical, it’s systemic and cultural. A lifelong learner with roots in economics with focus on production management, pedagogy, technical compliance, linguistics and international business, I work across disciplines, industries, and cultures and combine scientific thinking, practical experience, and creativity to rethink how we connect economy, people, and planet. I also believe in the power of creativity — as the language of sustainable transformation. Let’s connect to shape what’s next: a world where education, business, and humanity grow together.
