Born as an engineer, qualified by a Master of Science in Electrical Engineering ETH, I continuously extended my knowledge by supplementary studies, including a diploma in business administration, as well as active participation in standardisation bodies.Fascinated in modern technology I learned over the years, that strategic optimisation of the product portfolio, including influencing of market trends and customers’ needs is key for success for each company.As Global Head of Sales and Product Management in an international group of companies I was operational as well as financially responsible for a division, providing complex communication systems for applications, where high reliability is essential. This division included sales, marketing, product management, project management as well as application engineering.The superior analytical skills, which I built up in many years, are extremely useful, when it comes to employments, product portfolio optimisation, decision making, building up partnerships with different contractors and subcontractors.Many years of experience have taught me to listen carefully, analyse, communicate with employees and clients from diverse cultures, bring them together and work with them to find best suitable, economic solutions and products. It was always important to find the right mix of motivation, strategic leadership and necessary assertiveness.People who have worked with me, know that I’m demanding, but at the same time ready to fully support to reach a common goal. They are always astonished, experiencing, that I can keep calm and focussed, even under enormous pressure.
Listed skills include Business Strategy, Business Analysis, Business Process Improvement, Sales Management, and 29 others.
