Personal – what defines me

Through my many years of international management experience as a consultant and certification auditor for Bureau Veritas and DQS, I am able to identify the critical and decisive tasks within different company processes very quickly. My open-minded and creative approach enables me to achieve exceptional results through active, team-oriented problem solving. In doing so, I draw on my broad specialist knowledge and strong social skills, which I have developed through my vocational training, further education and many years of diverse management experience. Prudence, fairness and healthy self-confidence, reflected in a high degree of assertiveness and a strong focus on results, are further strengthened by more than thirty-five years of practicing traditional Japanese karate as a recreational activity.

Personal – My experience

More than 25 years of international experience with various owner-managed hidden champions — as Head of Quality Management, Quality Engineering and Quality Assurance, as well as a consultant and certification auditor for Bureau Veritas and DQS.

From companies with 100 employees to mid-sized enterprises with several thousand people. From highly price-driven low-tech products to sophisticated high-tech gearboxes with virtually zero backlash. From one-off, micron-precision clamping devices to fully optimized mass production. From everyday consumer products to an exclusive microphone made for Phil Collins himself.

The Hidden Champions were:

E-mobility, aerospace and medical technology

Portable sprayers for garden, construction and cleaning

High quality industrial switchgears

Microphones, conference technology, headsets and headphones

Superior Clamping and Gripping

The 12 years as Quality Manager at SCHUNK Superior Clamping and Gripping, where I was responsible for all plants worldwide, have certainly had the greatest impact on me. I am especially grateful to Mr. Heinz Dieter Schunk, who challenged and supported me as my direct superior and, above all, gave me the freedom to use some of my extraordinary ideas to make the company group more profitable and successful.

I am particularly proud to have been one of the 10 top managers who helped to develop the vision, the values and the SCHUNK guiding principle "With a pioneering spirit and perfection we set standards worldwide". We developed this in a workshop lasting several days and subsequently successfully applied them in the company group.
