Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

I help manufacturing companies understand where digitalization truly adds value — and what is pure waste.

As an industrial engineer, I led projects up to €2.5M at Arcelor Mittal and Ajinomoto Omnichem. I know the operational reality of a factory from the inside. No theoretical models, but concrete analyses that lead to decisions.

Today, I combine that background with AI and digitalization. I map out where processes get stuck, what data already exists but is not used, and which tools truly make a difference for your operation.

Lean Six Sigma Green Belt. AI postgrad Howest. Electromechanical engineer KU Leuven.

Available for:

— Digitalization analysis & roadmap

— AI-readiness assessment

— Process improvement with data

— Guidance during implementation

Do you also want the rollout after the analysis? Through my company AI-Borg (we can go from analysis to a working solution — but that is completely optional. The consultancy stands on its own.

Availability: 2 days per week — ideal for companies that want an external expert without a full-time commitment.

Daily rate: €1,050/day
