About

For more than 30 years, I have been successfully working in the field of process and industrial automation. After initial experience in product management for sensor technology and the classic sales force for automation technology in Germany, I became a global account manager in the process industry. Here I have been responsible for the worldwide business with BASF for 10 years. In 2004, I was offered the opportunity to build up the new business field of process and factory automation for one of the most innovative private companies in the automation industry. I now lead this area as Head of Competence Center.
