Advise / consulting / troubleshooting

For many years I worked with the Product life cycle Principal. My experience in the last 25 years is from the concept of a new idea until realization of the product. Some of the items which I helped to get on the market you could use every day, like a printer, desk phone, TV, … overhead console, Ambient lighting, room entering system, etc.

Also, I had the possibility to work in several areas in the industry and had to master various challenges in every area!

I was able to make mistakes and learn and growth from them.

I need to be always creative with all my challenges and have the possibility to learn from the best in the industry around the globe!

In the last few years, it was for me possible to practice troubleshooting for various customer with proven record of success

Training

One of the most important things for me is not to keep your knowledge for yourself, but to share and help the organization you work in to get better and better with experience. 

I would like to make the theory, with my many years of practice, easy to understand with tailor-made training for my customers. Lifelong learning is the key factor for success of any person.

Interim Management

Every level of the hierarchy has their own challenges. I had the opportunity to serve for many leaders in this industry in varying positions. For me. it was always important that what I do is

sustainable for every level in the organization. I see myself as a leader and coach that shows and leads by “the good example” not matter how long the assignment takes. Listen carefully and do not rush to conclusions… daily business can take a lot from your resources to change everything to become better.
