I am a seasoned professional who has had the privilege of impacting international sectors – including airline, retail, hospitality and FMCG – through various pivotal roles. My executive-level experience is steeped in a blend of marketing, sales, procurement, and M&A, all framed within decentralized, matrix-based organizations.Over the past decades, I have assumed diverse corporate roles across APAC, EMEA, and the Americas. I honed my leadership by managing interdisciplinary teams and harnessing Design Thinking to plot future strategies. A focal point was customer-centricity, leading to an acquisition of major airlines and redefining strategies for a significant client base, which drove considerable profit margins. A testament to my success was the generation of an annual tender volume of more than 1 billion €, stellar customer retention rates, and the establishment of a global innovation hub to bridge market research and technology. In the past years, I have been the catalyst behind transformative marketing initiatives. Embracing a shift in work dynamics, optimizing processes, and leveraging digital channels have been central pillars of my work, yielding significant financial milestones, including cost reductions of over 8 million €, and industry recognition.Fluent in both German and English, I showcase an adaptive, motivational leadership approach, striving to resonate with diverse teams and partners. With an enduring commitment to excellence and innovation, I continue to shape the future of businesses, always eager to embrace the next challenge.
