About Benjamin

As an engineer by training, I have been supporting industrial management for several years in their transformation, industrialization, and operational performance challenges.

With experience in demanding industrial environments, supplemented by independent consulting since 2019, I address high-impact issues:

🔹 Industrialization of new products and scaling up
🔹 Management of industrial projects and CAPEX investments
🔹 Performance improvement (quality, costs, deadlines)
🔹 Structuring and deployment of Lean / Operational Excellence initiatives
🔹 Change management and industrial maturity development

I work in various contexts (mass production, regulated environments, multi-site) in direct interface with operational teams and industrial management.

Recognized for my ability to structure, unite, and deliver concrete results, I combine a hands-on approach with a global vision of industrial performance.
