Joined Kopter, an innovative helicopter startup/OEM, with the vision to develop a distinctive lightweight single-engine helicopter. The company was later acquired by Leonardo, a leading helicopter OEM.Initially appointed as the Head of Engineering Services, leading teams in Configuration Management, Maintenance and Safety, and Material Science.Entrusted with the pivotal task of instituting robust product development and PLM processes. These initiatives not only enhanced operational efficiency but also positioned me at the forefront in securing the aerospace OEM certification from EASA. This involved presenting our refined processes during rigorous audits with the team of EASA. Subsequent to an internal restructuring, I was promoted to the VP / Head of PLM. In this capacity, I took on the mantle of the main project lead and architect, driving the digital transformation of the company's PLM IT infrastructure. Transitioned from a highly customized SAP ERP / PLM to an industry-standard architecture, integrating Siemens Teamcenter for PLM and retaining SAP as the primary ERP. This project was executed successfully, ushering the company into a new digital era in record time.While I deeply valued my time at Kopter and was passionate about the work, I chose to depart due to differences in vision regarding company culture and values. This transition period coincided with the conceptualization of Generativ, presenting a timely opportunity for me to channel my energies into a new venture that aligned with my beliefs.
