Profile
  • The candidate has pursued two parallel careers and that is precisely what makes him exceptional. Over a period of more than 25 years, he has gained extensive expertise in procurement transformation. He has led multi-billion-euro programs across sectors such as pharmaceuticals, FMCG, aerospace, oil & gas, automotive, and private equity. His focus was never solely on operational aspects; the people driving the change were always at the heart of his work. This conviction led to the development of a second pillar in his career: today, he is also a certified executive coach, Gallup Strengths expert, systemic trainer, and NeuroLeadership practitioner. He guides C-level executives and their organizations through phases of transformation, growth, and sustained performance pressure.
  • This combination is unusual and deliberately chosen. He understands the challenges a CPO faces from firsthand experience ranging from cost pressures and stakeholder dynamics to the redesign of operating models and knows the personal toll managing these tasks takes on a leader. He operates on both levels simultaneously: strategic clarity and human development go hand in hand for him.
  • He is available for high-level engagements whether as a strategic project partner, executive coach, advisory board member, or in a part-time leadership role provided the chemistry is right and the assignment is meaningful.
