Hi There, I'm Christian, an analytics consultant who helps companies generate value from their data, improve their planning, and become more efficient.I grew up at beautiful Bodensee (Lake Constance) in southern Germany. Being a kid, I wanted to become a customs officer, a garbageman, or a physician. Luckily, I enrolled in a university program in information systems and gradually shifted focus to business analytics, algorithms, machine learning, and operations research. Upon completing my PhD, I went into management consulting as an Operations Research expert, where I started using my skills in supply chain management across industries. I continue doing so until today as an independent consultant. Besides working with analytics, I love skiing and cheesecake.
