About

30 years of professional experience, Henkel Group Vice-president/General Manager in Western Europe, and CEO in a privately owned food processing company and in a leading lighting player. Acted as EIR in the creation of a NewCo in the apparel sector in Spain, and served as Operating Executive, General Manager and Corporate Business Development at a family-owned industrial group. Business Modelling & Go-to-Market Strategy: Balancing top-line revenue generation through omni-channel (Contract B2B / B2C Retail-Distribution) exploitation of multiple routes to market, in combination with bottom-line profitability improvement through portfolio management and reduction of structural costs. Organizational Design: Multi-country divisional experience, implemented organizational transformation, from local country based to regionally integrated steering in Western Europe. I am interested in General Management ad interim roles, and as operating executive for the management of transformation programs and turnarounds.
