Projects stall when no one bridges strategy with on-the-ground reality. Combining more than 10 years in operations, technical production, and PMP® leadership, I know how to eliminate operational risk and build resilient workflows that deliver lasting results.
I built my project leadership foundation as an Air Force QA technician and refined it over a decade of running high‑volume production lines and cross‑functional teams. As a PMP® strategist, I treat operations as dynamic systems—designed to adapt to real‑world friction rather than follow static checklists.
Rather than forcing a rigid, one‑size‑fits‑all methodology onto a project, I tailor the execution framework to your operational reality. By pairing Lean Six Sigma’s waste‑elimination discipline with Agile’s speed and predictive structure, I build resilient delivery paths that absorb real‑world shocks without stalling. Whether guiding physical‑to‑digital rollouts, hardware‑software integrations, or practical AI deployments, I focus on early risk detection and clear cross‑functional alignment.
Outputs only matter when they create lasting value. My focus is on building execution systems that reduce risk, use resources wisely, and protect the people doing the work. If you’re looking for structure, momentum, and operational clarity on your next critical initiative, let’s talk.

Every project exists to solve an operational or strategic gap. I apply complex systems thinking to align technology, constraints, and human capability into a resilient execution model focused strictly on business value.
Adaptive Risk Management: Static risk spreadsheets do not prevent project failures. I build redundant, layered safeguards into team workflows so that if a vendor or tool drops out, execution continues without stalling.
Resilient Planning: Rigid master plans break in volatile environments. I design multi-pathway strategies that allow teams to pivot and reallocate resources dynamically when conditions shift.
Cross-Functional Visibility: Siloed status reports obscure critical dependencies. By mapping data flows, budgets, and assumptions across departments, I remove operational friction and clarify mutual interdependencies before bottlenecks occur.
Decentralized Execution: Centralized approval chains slow down delivery. I push decision-making authority directly to frontline teams, setting clear guardrails so they can self-organize, iterate quickly, and resolve issues at the source.
Pragmatic Delivery: Frameworks must fit the reality of the business, not the other way around. I tailor Agile, Predictive, or Hybrid models to your exact environment—embedding quality controls from day one rather than inspecting for them at the end.
Master's Degree in Design Management: Trained to lead innovation under uncertainty, apply human-centered design thinking to complex problems, and drive transformational change across cross-functional teams
PMP® Certified: Bringing structured, disciplined project governance and rigorous risk forecasting to initiatives across diverse industries and scales.
Technical Experience: I bring technical operational experience, reading schematics, assembling machinery, planning machine hours, and cutting down on downtime.
International Adaptability: Based in Germany and multilingual, I specialize in cross-cultural communication and navigating the complexities of global, distributed teams.
Ground-Level Credibility: I don’t just manage from a dashboard. I’ve worked the production floor, negotiated with vendors, and aligned expectations in the executive boardroom. I understand what flawless execution actually looks like at every single level.
Across my career, I’ve delivered complex projects that span software integration, digital transformation, supply chain stabilization, and end‑to‑end product development. I create detailed execution plans, gather precise requirements, and map entire systems so every stakeholder—from design and engineering to production, suppliers, and finance—operates from the same vision.
I lead teams in a way that makes them self‑organized, aligned with the organizational culture, and capable of sustaining momentum without constant escalation. Quality is embedded into every step of the workflow and planning strategy, not treated as a late‑stage checkpoint.
Operationally, I’ve planned materials, sourced specialized components for industrial machinery, and stabilized environments during severe supply‑chain volatility. I reduce ambiguity, mitigate uncertainty, and build strong foundations that support sustainable long‑term value.
These projects were rarely clean or textbook. They were messy, high‑stakes, and time‑pressured—exactly the environment where I do my best work.
Immediate stock build plus a digitization project delivered 15% short‑term savings and a projected 30% long‑term reduction.
Context: Joined an academic production team during the pandemic to run end‑to‑end production, procurement, and inventory.
Challenge: The main supplier moved to emergency pricing, creating supply risk and price volatility.
Immediate action: Built a one‑year material buffer to lock prices and stabilize supply.
Strategic action: Launched a project to digitize assets and reduce long‑term material dependency.
Impact: 15% immediate cost saving; 30% projected ongoing cost reduction; stabilized supply and reduced materials management time.
Solved a legacy‑system integration failure by sourcing and installing a hardware fix, completing quality validation, and meeting the delivery timeline.
Context: Worked with an aerospace client to integrate their AR helmet app with our department’s production systems.
Challenge: Legacy machines could not read the color codes from the app; the integration produced defects and failed to meet organizational standards.
Technical action: Investigated electronic schematics and worked with the machine vendor’s technical support to identify the root cause.
Creative solution: When vendor parts and technicians were delayed, I sourced a compatible replacement supplier who delivered faster and at lower cost; I installed the part myself.
Quality control: Performed calibration, QA checks, and iterative tests until the product met spec.
Impact: Restored compliance and functionality, kept the project on schedule, and avoided escalation or external re‑assignment.

OEE Tracking: Continuously analyze the three core pillars: Availability, Performance, and Quality. Identify micro-stops and bottlenecks on the line
Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs): Author and enforce standard work instructions for changeovers, calibration, startup, and shutdown sequences to eliminate operator-induced variability.
Root Cause Analysis (RCA) & Quality Assurance: Lead structured 5-Why and Ishikawa investigations to implement corrective engineering controls; successfully identified and resolved high-stakes mechanical faults on an aerospace client project, preventing schedule slippage and recurring defects.
I believe every complex problem has a solution — and a project manager doesn’t need to be the deepest domain expert to find it. Modern leadership requires acting as a strategic integrator. My role is to apply systems thinking to understand your organizational environment, its constraints, and the interactions between your technology, processes, and people.
I go beyond task management. I uncover true business requirements, drive proactive stakeholder engagement, and tailor processes to fit the realities of your operation. By leading with curiosity and asking critical questions, I act as a servant leader who connects the right cross‑functional experts and removes the roadblocks that slow them down.
To me, execution is about keeping the entire system aligned and moving — relentlessly — toward sustainable, measurable business value.
