About David

Fleet Management | Interim Management | Digitalization | Cost Optimization | Supplier Management | Mobility Strategies | Sustainability | Startups | Automotive | Fleet Consulting

I supportstartupsin the structured development of their fleet – scalable, efficient, and future-proof. As an experienced Fleet & Mobility Professional, I help young companies design their fleet strategy data-driven and growth-oriented from the outset. From selecting suitable vehicles and providers to implementing digital tools for administration, tracking, damage management, and driver's license checks – I provide operational and strategic support for implementation.


At the same time, as an **interim manager**, I take responsibility **in established companies**: during restructuring, fleet downsizing, EV transitions, or supplier tenders.

My Experience**: **Over 20 years of fleet managementin companies such as Volvo Trucks, MAN, Europcar, BMW, LeasePlan, Cluno, and FreewayCamper – with both operational and strategic responsibility. I have managed suppliers, standardized policies, developed reports and dashboards, led international teams, and automated processes. My specialty: interface management between purchasing, HR, sales, legal, procurement, IT & external partners.



**Typical Projects**:
  • Setup & Scaling of Startup Fleets
  • Implementation of Car Policies & Fleet Guidelines
  • Tenders & Negotiations with Leasing Companies
