Sven Klindworth

I am an experienced interim manager with 30 years of expertise in an internationally active retail group. My focus is on purchasing, procurement, and supply chain management in the areas of home textiles, hard goods, and fashion. I can look back on numerous successes in these areas, particularly in strategy development, risk management, and cost optimization.

With many years of leadership experience and a background in change and transformation processes, I have a proven track record of successfully advancing projects with cross-functional teams. I have also driven digitalization in procurement and the use of AI in pricing and demand forecasting.

I enjoy working agilely, communicating transparently, and on an equal footing. My intercultural skills and extensive network in the Asian procurement market complete my profile.
