About

I am a CEO focused on translating strategic ambition into sustainable, profitable value creation, leveraging operational excellence, innovation and high‑performing teams - with a clear commitment to customer centricity as a key driver of long‑term success. I have built my career within a large international industrial group, taking responsibility in a business unit environment shaped by long‑term thinking, reliability and continuity. My leadership approach is based on the conviction that sustainable performance is achieved when customer needs, operational excellence and responsible leadership are consistently aligned.In my current role, I lead a highly international organization with production sites in Switzerland, Poland and India, serving customers globally. I work closely with teams, customers and partners across Europe, APAC and the Americas, ensuring proximity to markets while balancing local realities with global alignment. I therefore focus on building organizations and teams that act with ownership, loyalty and accountability, strengthening performance while respecting established strengths, trusted customer relationships and core values.
I am most effective in environments shaped by trust‑based leadership, strong customer focus and a long‑term ownership mindset.
