About

Engineering Projects. Supply-Chain Leadership. Regional Impact.

I am a project and supply-chain professional with a Mechanical Engineering background from Germany and an MBA in Management. My experience covers engineering project coordination, procurement, material planning, logistics, machine configuration, supplier management and digital transformation.

In my current regional role, I support projects across Asia Pacific, coordinate with customers and internal stakeholders, manage technical requirements, prepare engineering layouts and act as a bridge between the APAC region and global technical teams.

My career combines technical engineering knowledge with commercial awareness, supply-chain leadership and structured project execution.

My Professional Journey

Roles that shaped a regional supply-chain leader

My career has progressed from automotive and tyre-manufacturing operations to industrial engineering, supply-chain leadership and regional APAC project management. Each role has strengthened my ability to connect shop-floor realities, technical requirements and strategic business execution.
