Interim Management - Procurement & Negotiation Advise Coaching - Digital Transformation

Turning Procurement into Performance - and beyond

Executive interim manager and advisor with 20+ years of leadership experience in indirect procurement, complex negotiations and large-scale transformation programs.

I support organizations, private equity portfolio companies and procurement leaders in stabilizing, transforming and scaling procurement and negotiation capabilities – not only by optimizing structures and processes, but by ensuring that people, mindset and leadership capabilities evolve alongside them.

My distinctive value lies in combining deep hands-on experience from large, complex organizations with a strong digital transformation mindset and a pronounced people focus. I bridge strategy, process excellence and digitalization with behavioral insight, leadership development and practical enablement.

Recognized as a frontrunner, enabler and motivator, I work at the intersection of leadership, advisory, training and coaching. By integrating methodologies such as D.I.S.C., Profile Dynamics, personality-based negotiation preparation and behavioral awareness (e.g. body language and communication patterns), I help leaders and teams significantly increase effectiveness, ownership and negotiation performance.

I empower organizations to successfully embrace digitalization and automation while keeping people fully engaged, capable and confident in change.

Driven by a pragmatic and human-centered approach, I am enthusiastic about turning complex challenges into sustainable opportunities and creating long-term value through strategic leadership, collaboration and innovation.
