Driving innovation and transformation at the intersection of sensor technology and business.🌟 In brief!I'm a passionate, accomplished, and empathic leader with a unique blend of technical expertise in Physics, sensors, and business acumen gained from a Physics degree and doctorate and an Executive MBA, and over 17 years of invaluable experience in shaping global strategies and driving business growth in technology companies, technical products, and testing, metrology and materials processing applications.🎓 Educational journey:My academic journey was fueled by a thirst for knowledge, culminating in a Ph.D. and M.Sc. in Physics from the University of York and the Technical University of Munich. Complementing my technical prowess, I further honed my skills by earning an Executive MBA from Mannheim Business School. 🚀 Professional journey:My professional journey began at Proceq AG / Screening Eagle where I spearheaded pivotal roles. I progressed from product management through various leadership positions in Sales and R&D, eventually becoming the CEO. I oversaw the successful integration of acquisitions, notably Zehntner GmbH Testing Instruments, while nurturing a culture of talent acquisition and development. At Proceq AG / Screening Eagle and Gebrüder Loepfe AG / Vandewiele, I led cross-functional teams, emphasizing agile methodologies, adaptive development philosophies, and a relentless focus on time-to-market strategies and business transformation.
