Stephan Franz Email & Phone Number

Revitalizing large operations on a global scale, significantly expanding markets and maximizing sales revenues – generating exceptional results with a multinational impact is what truly excites me about being a leader. One of the key factors in this is my ability to develop high-performing businesses capable of adapting to dynamically changing market conditions and demands.For all of my professional career, I have been worked at BASF, arguably the industry leader in the plastics product sector. My knowledge spectrum is as multi-faceted as it is versatile and covers the fields of General Management as well as Key Account Management, Business Development, Sales, and Marketing. Thus far, I have been fortunate enough to turn around operations in the UAE and have been gaining a respectable track record all around the globe, including several European countries and other Middle Eastern regions.Some of my most outstanding accomplishments include:• Leading a technically driven team to commercial success while doubling sales and EBIT in Dubai.Handing over the team to my successor after four years with markedly more positive numbers.• Restructuring a mid-size company within three years while resetting sales, production and raw material sourcing as well as the customer-portfolio.Operating with 0 Lost Time Injuries during the entire assignment.I am convinced that I can only be as strong as the team I lead. That is why it is especially important to me to pick the right people, empower them, challenge them, mentor and coach them – this way, I developed solution-oriented teams focused on achieving maximum success in their mission. Likewise, it sets the foundation for long-term growth by fostering a culture of loyalty and integrity where creative ideas and out-of-the-box thinking prove to be great motors directly correlating the success of the business. My empathy, appreciative nature and collaborative approach have been just as beneficial as my language skills in German, English, Spanish and Italian that I use to liaise at all hierarchical levels.I am on LinkedIn to strengthen business relations.
