Space and the technology that brings us "up" there fascinates me. From the start of my professional career I have always been close to the Ariane launcher. During my Bachelor studies in mechanical production engineering I have completed a vocational training to a mechatronics engineer in the workshops of the Ariane 5 production. I still remember the moment when I entered the first time the clean room are of the Upper Stage integration looking like a surgeon with my Gown and hair restraint.While completing my master's degree study in aerospace technology I worked in the engineering department for structural mechanics and made sure that the A5 launcher structures do no break during their journey into and in space. After my studies I came as close as possible to the Ariane 5 launcher. As the Upper Stage launcher technical leader I supported, together with an amazing team of highly skilled professionals, launch campaigns at Europe's Spaceport in Kourou, French Guyana by providing systems engineering expertise to the launcher platform integration activities. Around the time when the Ariane 6 production was started I made a turn into a different direction to support the CEO of ArianeGroup Germany as Executive Assistant. It was an intense, challenging and interesting time which broadened my view on company management, finance as well as politics. Getting to do a little bit of everything with everyone in the company was a very effective way to learn and pave my way into management. Today as A Work Package Manager am my mission is to grow in project management and ensure that the Ariane 6 Upper Liquid Propulsion Module is produced on time, on quality and on cost for her first mission into space. What makes me happy? I am a passionate learner and book worm (non-fiction), who loves to make most of his time to achieve things, do sports, play the piano and guitar as well as relax with family and friends.
