Description

Senior Industrial Advisor and CAPEX Strategist with over 25 years of experience combining deep technical expertise in heavy industry with executive leadership in engineering, operations, and corporate investments.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed over €85 million in total CAPEX budget and led more than 180 complex industrial projects.

My profile bridges financial planning with operational reality on the plant floor to ensure operational excellence and regulatory compliance.

How I help Investment Funds and Corporate Clients:

Technical Due Diligence: Comprehensive audit of asset condition, assessment of operational risks, and analysis of technological obsolescence for industrial acquisitions.

CAPEX and Procurement Optimization: Definition of technical specifications (RFP/RFQ), supplier analysis, contract engineering, and strategic procurement of capital goods.

Industrial Operations and Critical Maintenance: Design of preventive, predictive, and RCM strategies for continuous production environments (24/7), with specialization in High Voltage, automation, and industrial IT.

I act as an independent subject matter expert (SME) providing the necessary technical judgment to mitigate risks in transactions and optimize capital allocation.
