• I took over the leadership of the implementation of a re-designed product, which was already delayed and faced with a lack of engineering experts and product knowledge. After that I directed the team to overcome external and internal influences. I re-managed the engineering resources and tasks reaching +23 % increase in productivity: I created then standardized a workflow concept and led the cross-functional developer units with 110 engineers (Mechanical Design, HW, SW, Safety, Process Engineering, Product Engineering) over 5 countries (France, Germany, Hungary, India, Malaysia) until finally - after 2.5 years - we launched the product into serial production in 2022 with a 95% success rate.• I led the entire new product (Top Column Modul) operation when the supplier ran out of a main and critical electrical component; an alternative part had to be researched and introduced urgently. My team managed the design reviews, regulations, requirements, proposing solutions collaborating with suppliers. Under my resposibility the timeplan could be reduced from 2 years to 1.5 year. Also, we had strong cooperation and communication with the NPI team to always got the critical components in time building the products according to the determined maturity. At the end of this project we succeeded in 2024, there was not any backlog and the customer demands were satisfied in time. • I lead cutting-edge solutions and robust deals: representing the customer's interests within Valeo but also maximize revenue on the relationship, and keeping the focus on the company’s competitiveness. To this day we are in close contact with customer. • I oversee the team’s delivery activities and performance, tracking the budget & risk management, project efficiency, product costs.My team is in contact with the following customers:Volvo, BMW, Audi, RollsRoyce, Ford, VW, Skoda
