About Eugen

I support companies in the automotive and industrial sectors in successfully managing complex international projects – especially where technical complexity, time pressure, escalations, and demanding stakeholders converge.

My focus is on international project management in the OEM environment with a focus on automotive, series production ramp-up, technical implementation projects, escalation management, and the coordination of interdisciplinary teams across multiple locations.

Through my career path from precision mechanic to mechanical engineering technician to industrial engineer, I combine technical understanding with business acumen and strong implementation skills. I work at the interface between customer, management, production, engineering, and the project team – structured, committed, and solution-oriented.

Currently, as Global Project Manager, I am responsible for international projects in the BMW/OEM environment. This involves managing complex technical programs, coordinating internal and external stakeholders, handling escalations, ensuring transparency in critical project situations, and securing deadline, cost, and quality objectives.

Typical areas of application:

- International automotive project management
- OEM projects and plant coordination
- Escalation management and project stabilization
- Technical projects in series production ramp-up
- Management-level reporting and action control
- Interface management between technology, customer, and management

I am particularly called upon where projects require clarity, commitment, technical depth, and reliable leadership.
