About

After 25+ years leading transformation initiatives across international organisations, I learned one thing: Technology only works when leadership, culture, and execution align. Throughout my career, I have: • worked with organisations like TNT/FedEx, GeoPost, and the World Economic Forum • advised international organisations on transformation and expansion initiatives • helped companies navigate large-scale operational and technology change • supported innovation across supply chain, logistics, and global ecosystems From billion-dollar transformation projects to cross-border collaboration initiatives, my focus has always stayed the same: Leading role in expanding a EUR 1 billion loss-making business into a EUR 5 billion highly profitable business through acquisitions and strategic partnerships. Helping organisations adapt without losing the human side of business. Today, I work with leaders and organisations on: • transformation strategy • innovation initiatives • supply chain modernisation • leadership and change management • global collaboration ecosystems I also regularly speak, mentor, and share insights around the future of: • supply chains • leadership • transformation • technology adoption Because in the end: The companies that lead are not the ones with the most technology. They are the ones that know how to implement change correctly.
