“I get excited when confronted with an operational challenge!”
I am a builder and a transformation manager.
My key contributions to sustainable change are:
 | Think strategically, design tactically and manage operationally. |
| Create clarity from chaos and simplicity from complexity. |
| Engage employees and stakeholders at all levels. |
I am an operations specialist
My experience is based on a very colorful career path in multiple industries, international footprint, diverse functions, layered responsibilities and solid education
I am adaptable
I have learned that operational challenges are common and similar between industries with only minor industry-specific issues. As a result, I can adapt quickly in any new environment.
My approach is based on clarity
Together with employees at all levels I start with reflection on and analysis of the current situation. Jointly we then identify key focus areas and create (or adapt to) a new vision and direction. This leads to a clear roadmap with targets, timelines, budget and ownership. Implementation is be based on solid program management using OpEx tools like LEAN, 6-sigma, Value Stream Mapping, Kaizen, 5S/6S, Scums (agile).
My style is based on accountability
My style is to create accountability, which requires trust, freedom and security:
| Trust that people do the right things when needed or ask for help if stuck. |
| Provide freedom to make decisions (empower) within agreed boundaries. |
| Create a safe environment where making mistakes is allowed and used to learn and improve. |
