About

Experienced engineer and global leader with a proven track record in organizational leadership, P&L accountability, and strategic decision-making. I hold a Master of Engineering in Electrical Engineering. My career began with a dual study program and progressed through an executive development program, including three management-level rotations across production, engineering, and quality in Europe. Today, I am responsible for global strategic sourcing for ITW GSE, managing cross-functional teams across Europe and the United States. In this role, I influence business-critical decisions, drive cost and margin improvements, and align multiple stakeholders toward strategic objectives. I am passionate about developing talent and building high-performing teams, enabling leaders to take on greater responsibility while delivering measurable business results. My experience combines technical expertise, business impact, and international leadership.
