Technical Manager and Process Expert

In several production environments (MedTech, Automotive), they reduced scrap rates by more than 30% through structured FMEA analyses, CAPA processes, and data-driven process control

As FMEA Moderator and DGQ/EOQ Lead Auditor, they combine analytical thinking with pragmatic implementation, establishe sustainable risk assessment, train teams in FMEA logic and ensure measurable process stability

They combine strategic leadership experience with strong operational execution when restructureing quality departments, stabilizeing processes and successfully manageing handovers to successors

With over 17 years of auditing experience according to ISO 9001, 13485, 14001, and 45001, they stabilize management systems quickly and safely guide them through external certifications
