After more than two decades in restructuring, performance improvement, and Lean transformation across Europe, I founded open-borders consulting GmbH to focus on what truly creates value: clarity, execution, and measurable impact. My work is centered on helping manufacturing and industrial companies improve OTIF performance, cost structures, and operational resilience through pragmatic, hands-on transformation — not frameworks for slides, but systems that work on the shopfloor. I support organizations in: Manufacturing footprint optimization Supply chain and logistics restructuring Planning, scheduling, and flow design Value-creation architecture across operations Lean transformation and performance systems Turnaround and restructuring programs With a background spanning large consulting structures and entrepreneurial leadership roles, I combine strategic vision with operational execution — from boardroom decisions to factory-floor implementation. open-borders consulting is built on one principle: Performance improvement is not a methodology — it is a discipline. If your organization needs results rather than reports, systems rather than slogans, and execution rather than theory, we should talk.
Founder & Partner of open-borders consulting GmbH, leading execution-driven transformation programs for manufacturing companies across Europe.
