Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

I am an R&D Manager specializing in cardboard packaging, packaging optimization, and logistics performance, with a strong field and results orientation.

My approach goes beyond simple packaging design: I support manufacturers throughout the entire value chain – from product conception to flow optimization, systematically integrating TCO (Total Cost of Ownership), mechanical performance, and environmental impact.

I particularly enjoy working on:

• Plastic replacement → cardboard projects

• Packaging optimizations aimed at reducing material, logistics costs, and CO₂

• Development of innovative solutions (paper cushioning, honeycomb structures, cardboard pallets, technical packaging)

• Comparative studies and technical dashboards to aid decision-making

• Concrete client projects, where we move quickly from concept to prototype and then to industrialization

My strength lies in bridging engineering, production, and business: I speak both “factory floor” and “client strategy,” allowing me to propose realistic, industrializable, and economically relevant solutions.

My professional goals are clear: to help companies make their packaging more efficient and sustainable, structure packaging innovation approaches, and support the transition to eco-responsible solutions without compromising quality or profitability.

I favor collaborations based on trust, transparency, and co-creation.
