About Hardy

I am a graduate engineer in mechanical engineering (graduated in 1990). Since 2005, I have been working as a freelancer for renowned OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers in quality and project management.
I have additional qualifications as a VDA 6.3 Auditor.
As a sub-project manager for quality, I was involved in the development of turbochargers, among other things.
My experience extends to systems and components in the areas of powertrain, body, interior, and exterior, as well as batteries.
I have leadership experience and possess intercultural and social competence.
