About Kirstin

Consulting with passion for print and packaging!

Whether in interim management, as a project manager, or business developer, I am happy to offer you my many years of management experience in the field of print and packaging.
I have been working independently and very flexibly for several years, in a wide variety of consulting activities, projects, and requirements.

Based on my worldwide management experience within the tobacco industry, as well as my technical understanding in the areas of prepress, printing, and packaging, I offer you broad knowledge and an equally wide network - which I have expanded in recent years in the medical device industry.

My competencies:
- Consulting, strategy, and concept development - gladly in the area of Sustainability
- Packaging development from layout to print-ready and packaged product to the point of sale
- Sensory qualifications and much more
- Development of packaging constructions & consumer surveys
- Leadership of international technical teams
- Intensive international business network
- Project management
- Implementation of regulations and legal requirements across the entire packaging range
- SAP projects
- Various implementations of packaging regulations

Examples of activities during my self-employment:
• Business development support e.g. Packaging Management as ‘Freelancer MDR (Medical Device Regulation) Project’ (Mar 2019 - May 2020, Mar 2021 - Dec 2022))
• Business Consultation in the area of ecological print & packaging (e.g. board game)
• International phone consultations (e.g. Sustainable Product Development, Packaging Specification, Supplier Evaluation Criteria, Customer Perspective)
• Publication in LogiMAT Jan 2019: Circular economy for plastics

I look forward to an exciting collaboration with you!

    With the legally mandated introduction of MDR (Medical Device Regulation) and UDI (Unique Device Identification), the need arose to adapt the entire packaging portfolio at BSN medical GmbH accordingly.

    My task was to support the entire Packaging Management Team through, among others:
    - Coordination of tasks for the portfolio to be revised with the Packaging Management Team
    - Creation of specification documents, with independent coordination and alignment with suppliers and production sites
    - SAP maintenance of logistics and DSD data
    - UDI data management
    - Other data maintenance and technical documentation
    - Maintenance of project documentation, including in MS Teams
    - Project management and independent project meetings with PMO
    - Partial participation in team meetings
    - Alignment of specifications with product teams
    - Alignment of specifications with the graphic design team
    - I carried out project support 50% at the client's site and 50% remotely (home office) from the beginning. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we seamlessly switched to a 100% remote working relationship.
