Über mich

I consider myself as a resilient team player with a proven track record of delivering outstanding results & success as a P&L leader with strategic skills, operational discipline as well as financial acumen. Having gained experience in periods of business turnaround and transformation, as well as during periods of growth I also gained profound leadership experience through building, managing and developing multiple cross-functional teams of diverse backgrounds in different countries (GER, China & DK). LEADERSHIP My leadership style revolves around transparency, passion, empowerment, collaboration, integrity and customer centricity. Leading through influence and not just authority and building powerful relationships within as well as outside the organization enable me to create value, envision a compelling long term strategy and build, recruit & develop highly talented teams. My emotional intelligence makes me stand out and enables me to evoke ownership and accountability from my team.
