Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

I transform prototypes into functional products, launched and produced reliably in series – from initial samples to stable volumes (over 20 products launched, some at over 100K units per year).

✅ 15 years of experience in industrialization and operations in consumer electronics (IoT, connected home, musical instruments, ...)

✅ Full lifecycle responsibility: new product introduction (NPI), ramp-up, process design, yield improvement, supply chain security, cost reduction, and team management in Europe and Asia.

✅ Very comfortable in China thanks to years spent there and strong, lasting relationships with factories (EMS). I speak Mandarin, both with line operators and general managers.

Today, I am open to new challenges where serious industrialization and real-world operational expertise can make a difference – hardware or not (consumer electronics, robotics, medtech, audio, charging stations/EV, outdoor equipment…).
