I am a finance and business executive with a unique blend of corporate finance, engineering, business strategy, financial and statistical modeling, technical and business assessment, and negotiation experience.Engineering, finance, corporate real estate are the pillars of my professional career. Do they seem like an unusual combination? Not at all. Simply stated, engineering is about how “things” work while finance is about how “money” works. In corporate real estate I brought them together. My passion is for finding out the why and the how of “things”. Accepting status quo is not my style; the why and the how is. I am an avid learner with diverse experience that gives me a unique perspective. I don’t take things at face value - there are many ways to solve a problem and I often see things others miss.Some of my most satisfying projects were measured not just in terms of money, but in developing that unique, innovative solution. Nice side effect: My passion to find this solution resulted in a $25 million financial gain in just one negotiation and numerous cost savings in others. Curious how? Contact me! I am an optimist by nature; I believe in people and am the ultimate team builder and player.In a tough, external business environment, building an internal one where everyone wants to succeed, where we can enjoy, learn and grow in what we are doing, has been a force multiplier in situations more often than I can count.I have lived and done business across the country and globe. Geographically flexible, I am always ready for a new challenge.Professional strengths and skills:• Technical and business assessment• Financial and statistical modeling • M&A Due Diligence and Integration• Real estate strategy• Building and leading cross functional teams• Proven negotiation skills• Bi-lingual (English/German)• Master of Industrial Technology• MBA Finance• CFA Charterholder
