Description

I help industrial companies make their development processes more efficient, structured, and scalable.

In many companies, processes have evolved historically. This often leads to lengthy coordination cycles, unclear responsibilities, and critical topics like FMEA or interface management being addressed too late. The result is delays, friction losses, and unnecessary costs.

This is exactly where I come in.

Thanks to my experience in product development, design, and application engineering, I understand both the technical aspects and the challenges of collaboration between teams and departments.

I don't just advise; I actively support implementation. My goal is to make development organizations efficient, clearly structured, and high-performing again.

Typical results of my work include:

Reduced coordination efforts
Faster project timelines
Increased transparency and better decision-making capabilities

I offer targeted analysis and optimization projects as well as ongoing support as an external Engineering Lead.
