Process & Method Excellence

Optimizing PLM workflows, engineering methods, and digital processes.

In this field of expertise, I support organizations in designing, improving, and harmonizing their engineering and PLM processes. My focus lies on creating efficient, scalable, and well-structured workflows that enable teams to work more effectively and deliver higher product quality.

I help companies streamline change management, requirements processes, BOM structures, variant management, and cross-system data flows. Through methodological guidance, best-practice frameworks, and hands-on collaboration with engineering teams, I ensure that processes become clearer, faster, and more robust.

Whether introducing new methods, restructuring existing workflows, or supporting digital transformation initiatives, my goal is to create process landscapes that are future-ready, compliant, and aligned with your strategic product vision.

Product Lifecycle IT-Strategy

Creating and executing strategies for PLM, digitalization, and AI adoption.

In this area of expertise, I support organizations in shaping a clear and future-ready IT strategy across the entire product lifecycle. The focus is on aligning PLM systems, digital processes, and IT architectures to foster innovation, reduce complexity, and generate measurable business value.

I assist companies in evaluating their current IT landscape, defining strategic target architectures, and planning or executing transformation initiatives. This includes technology and tool evaluations, roadmap development, data and system architecture design, as well as preparing organizations for AI-enabled engineering workflows.

The goal is to build an IT strategy that is scalable, modern, and tightly linked to product and business objectives—empowering organizations to create more efficient, connected, and intelligent product development environments.

Interim Leadership & Team Enablement

Leadership roles to stabilize projects, guide teams, and accelerate delivery.

In this field of expertise, I step into temporary leadership roles to ensure stability and momentum in critical phases of a project or organizational transformation. I provide hands-on management, coordinate cross-functional teams, and create the clarity and structure needed to keep initiatives on track.

My focus lies on strengthening team performance, resolving operational bottlenecks, and enabling teams to deliver with confidence. Through clear communication, methodical guidance, and a strong technical background, I help organizations bridge resource gaps, maintain continuity, and drive forward progress quickly and effectively.

Technology Assessment

Evaluating PLM and IT tools, architectures, and platforms for your needs.

In this area of expertise, I support organizations in assessing and selecting the right technologies for their PLM and digital engineering landscape. This includes a structured evaluation of tools, architectures, integration capabilities, data flows, and long-term scalability.

I help define clear and actionable tool specifications, ensuring that functional, technical, and process-related requirements are translated into precise documentation for vendors and internal teams.
Beyond the analysis, I guide companies through the procurement and vendor selection process, from longlist and shortlist creation to evaluation workshops, scoring models, and decision support.

The goal is to ensure that the chosen technology is not only technically suitable but also supports your strategic goals, process excellence, and future digital roadmap.

Product Management & Governance

Supporting product lifecycle planning, requirements, and portfolio management.

In this area of expertise, I help organizations structure and manage their product landscape with clarity and strategic alignment. This includes defining product visions, shaping roadmaps, capturing and prioritizing requirements, and ensuring that product decisions support long-term business and technology goals.

I provide guidance on portfolio governance, helping teams balance innovation, technical debt, and market needs. Through structured methods and close collaboration with stakeholders, I enable organizations to make informed, transparent, and data-driven product decisions.

The result is a product organization that delivers value consistently, manages complexity effectively, and ensures that every product move supports the broader digital and PLM strategy.

Artificial Intelligence & Data Science

Unlocking insights and automation through analytics, ML, and intelligent engineering workflows.

In this area of expertise, I support organizations in identifying, designing, and implementing AI-driven solutions that create real value across the product lifecycle. My work spans from strategic AI roadmapping to hands-on development of prototypes, data pipelines, and machine learning workflows.

Unlike purely strategic roles, I also write the code myself – from data engineering and analytics scripts to proof-of-concept ML models. This enables fast iteration, realistic feasibility assessments, and technically grounded decision-making.

I help organizations unlock insights from engineering and product data, automate routine tasks, and prepare their IT and PLM environments for AI-enabled processes such as intelligent requirements analysis, anomaly detection, and predictive engineering.

The result is a practical, scalable AI approach that blends strategic clarity, technical depth, and hands-on implementation.
