Automotive: Technologies and Innovations

Automotive

Industry and technology expertise

The automotive industry has been part of my professional career from the very beginning. In various leadership and project roles, I have supported OEMs and suppliers in the development, industrialization, and transformation of complex systems—from the product idea through to series production, end-to-end.

My experience ranges from driver information and assistance systems to interior and vehicle development, leading international business units, and managing development and production organizations. The projects shown below illustrate how I combine technological expertise, execution strength, and commercial responsibility.
