About

About me I would call my strengths a perfect combination of pragmatic management, result orientation with a spike at long term strategic target setting and consequent execution. The good results with my team are based on consequent and passion leadership, global unconditionally collaboration and an authentic communication style. Through my deep technical background in Industrial Automation Systems and especially in Drive (Motors and Converters) Technology from Low to High Voltage Applications I am responsible for outstanding and successful portfolio innovations. Based on my leadership capabilities, my integrity, and my motivation, I guided and coached a Lean Transformation and Change Management Program of my global development team through the complete Product Lifecycle Organization. My philosophy: Those who can remember - Own the past. Those who can change - Own the future.
