Description

Expert in Fleet & Workshop Management (15+ years) | Mechanical Engineer | Sustainable Mobility Strategy

As an experienced engineer (M.Sc. & MBA), I bring over 15 years of international leadership experience as a Fleet Manager and Workshop Manager from complex markets (Africa, Tunisia, Senegal, Togo, Congo). My core competence lies in the operational management of technical teams and the optimization of maintenance processes across various equipment and vehicle brands, always with a focus on technical excellence and safety.

I use this in-depth operational foundation to strategically transform traditional fleet processes. Through my MBA in Sustainable Mobility Management (TU Berlin), I combine my technical expertise as a mechanical engineer with the economic and social aspects of future-proof mobility. I specialize in the planning, management, and evaluation of innovative transport projects, the development of sustainable systems, and the application of skills in intelligent mobility networks (Smart Grids).

I offer you the unique combination of practical, proven leadership and strategic, forward-looking knowledge to make your fleets more efficient, safer, and more sustainable. Fluent in English and French, I am your partner for the transition to a cleaner and more efficient transport future.
