I’m a logistics and supply chain innovator with a passion for harnessing AI, automation, and digital solutions to drive efficiency and resilience in an ever-evolving industry. As Head of Smart Solutions at LOXXESS AG, I streamline back-office operations, optimizes planning, and enhances supply chain performance through cutting-edge technology. My goal is to make logistics smarter, faster, and future-ready—empowering businesses to thrive in a rapidly changing world. Beyond my corporate role, I lecture at the University of Europe for Applied Sciences, specializing in Globalization, Logistics & Supply Chain Management, and Innovation. I’m committed to bridging theory and practice, helping tomorrow’s leaders understand the global market dynamics and innovative strategies shaping modern business. I also serve as an expert at the “Gipfel der Logistikweisen,” an initiative that unites academia and industry professionals to anticipate trends and encourage proactive adaptation in logistics. Previously, I founded and led Evertracker until its successful sale. The platform focused on making supply chains safe, transparent, predictable, and sustainable—values that proved invaluable during global disruptions such as the recent pandemic. Whether pioneering AI-driven solutions or guiding future professionals in the classroom, my vision remains the same: to redefine what’s possible in logistics and supply chain management. Let’s connect and shape the future of logistics together!
Appadise is a company platform focused on AI leadership, transformation, and product systems that deliver real business impact. We work with organizations that want to move beyond isolated initiatives and build the structures required for durable execution. This includes offering Fractional CAIO services, supporting business and digital transformation, and developing both open-source and production-ready software products. Our approach combines strategic clarity with practical implementation. Rather than focusing on individual tools or use cases, we help define mandate, ownership, governance, and operating models that allow AI and digital initiatives to scale effectively. In addition, Appadise develops open-source software foundations for organizations that value control, extensibility, and independence, as well as ready-to-use SaaS products designed for real adoption and operational value. We also selectively support founders and product initiatives where applied AI, workflow depth, and strong product thinking create the basis for long-term impact. Appadise is built around a simple idea: meaningful progress requires both clear structure and the ability to execute.
