Extensive experience as a project manager (over 9 years) and as a development engineer (over 28 years) in medical technology according to ISO 13485, MDR, IVDR, 21 CFR 820 as well as in the aerospace and high-tech industries. As a project manager in the medical technology sector, I have led projects in the fields of in vitro diagnostics (IVD) and sterilization equipment for surgical instruments. In addition, I have developed and industrialized implants for traumatology as well as injection-molded plastic parts for insulin pumps, disposable infusion sets and injectors. As a project manager in the high-tech industry, I have led projects in the fields of precision optics and precision mechanics (e.g. optical telescopes with technologies such as those used in space telescopes, nano-positioning devices, and structures used in EUV photolithography for microchip manufacturing). In the aerospace industry, I have also developed structural components for aircraft. I am used to working in matrix organisations of global companies and knowing their development, quality and production processes. Extensive and detailed experience and knowledge of manufacturing processes in general. Extensive experiences of aerospace procedures/standards and as a former pilot. Extensive knowledge of spacecraft and aircraft structures. Excellent knowledge of astrophysics. Exceptional depth of knowledge and experience in astronomy and as an astrophotographer. My skills as a project manager with experience in Waterfall and Agile project management methodologies: Comprehensive experience in leading, planning, budgeting, and monitoring progress (e.g. with EVA) of complex projects in close, efficient, and productive collaboration with cross-functional teams, including management, product management, R&D, manufacturing, quality, regulatory, and documentation. • Excellent organizational skills. • Team player with versatile experience in interdisciplinary and multicultural teams. • Diplomatic communication style: Ability to mediate between conflicting parties. • Fact-based approach with a scientific mentality. • Level-headed, strong common sense. • Excellent analytical talent and logical thinking. • High awareness of responsibility, costs and time. • Very independent, structured and efficient working style.
