About Wael

Dear Sir or Madam,
as a graduate engineer with over 22 years of international professional experience, including 17 years of management experience in various industries, I possess exactly the competencies you are looking for. The focus of my professional activities has always been on handling complex administrative, communicative, and planning-organizational tasks. These ranged from technical and disciplinary personnel responsibility, through project management, key accounting, and communication with customers, authorities, partners, and suppliers, to conceptual and strategic issues.
In addition to my communication and work style, characterized by diplomacy and goal orientation, I am distinguished by my attitude of seeing the changing demands of daily business as a challenge. I consider it one of my strengths to prioritize meaningfully in the interest of the company, especially under difficult conditions or with a high workload, and not to lose sight of the relevant details, as well as my many years of versatile expertise in management and sales. My leadership style can best be described as empathetic, resource-oriented, and cooperative. This has been particularly beneficial in an international context, combined with polite persistence and proven intercultural competence. My greatest strengths are certainly my passion for innovative technical developments and my enthusiasm for working with people of all kinds.
Consequently, with me, you gain an extremely accomplished, independent, and performance-driven manager who will quickly familiarize himself with his new areas of responsibility thanks to his diverse experience and adaptability.
I bring immense initiative and a hands-on mentality and know how to prioritize tasks effectively.
