I combine my passion for travel and improvement
Over the past 19 years, I have helped manufacturing companies in 19 countries improve their processes. I will be happy to put all this experience to good use when working with you.
Thanks to this, I can identify with German precision the areas where you have potential for improvement and adjust them to run like a Swiss watch. I will explain everything to your employees and the new system will not be a Spanish village for them. Every look at your financial results will put an American smile on your face.
Get your business in shape
Entry prices are only going up now. So it’s a good time to improve processes that will significantly reduce your expenses without limiting your business operations.
I can define the strategic areas where you need to improve and suggest what steps you can take to fix it.
My work motto is:
„Veni, Vidi, Vici – I came, I saw, I improved.“ Convince yourself of its truth.
Please contact me if:
- You are the owner or director of a manufacturing company and you feel like your business is getting over your head.
- You are growing and challenges are jumping from all sides. Or a system that's been pretty good suddenly doesn't work.
- Important information is lost in the communication and the flow of supply is hindered.
- You are an individual or freelancer and want to improve some work processes, but you don't know how to start.
I'll help you if:
- Your company is no longer profitable.
- You perceive that there is a poor transfer of information among workers.
- In teams you hear blaming each other, shifting the responsibilities.
- People in your structure have inaccurate or no definition of authority, responsibility and agenda.
- The agenda of individual employees is too dependent on specific persons and thus almost unpredictable.
WHAT MY STRATEGY INVOLVES
Vision and values
- be a valuable discussion partner for companies with sufficient insight into improvement issues
- help companies build stronger, more engaged teams with demonstrable improvements in KPIs
- helping individuals to improve their processes
Draft objectives
- based on a detailed analysis of your production processes and company culture, we will work together to create an action plan with clearly defined priorities
Meeting objectives
- training of individual CI tools (in-house)
- Kaizen events / workshops on a topic according to your needs (production, logistics, HR, maintenance)
- longer-term projects with clearly defined exit criteria for success

Expertise
Experience
I’ve worked in a facility of 50 employees up to 1100 – this has given me valuable experience of how much impact the number of employees has on the dynamics and culture of a company.
