Physical Trading of Traditional and Renewable Energy Commodities in the Digital Era

Berlin Metropolitan Area

About

With over 15 years of experience in physical commodities trading, I specialize in managing and developing international supply chains for traditional and renewable energy products — including fuels, petroleum coke, petcochemicals and sustainable feedstocks. My background combines deep market expertise with a strong focus on operational efficiency and digital transformation. I apply data-driven decision-making, ERP/CRM integration, and strategic sourcing to enhance performance and deliver reliable, value-added solutions to partners worldwide. Throughout my career, I have led trading teams, developed new markets, optimized logistics, and driven digital innovation in an evolving energy landscape. I am passionate about bridging conventional and renewable energy through modern, transparent, and technology-enabled trading practices.
