PROFILE
Commercial manager with an operations backbone: started in order management and demand planning (SAP APO, +23%
forecast accuracy) and grew into running a €2.5M key-account portfolio delivered at 130% of plan — 8 years at Grohe AG
(LIXIL Group). I build systems that outlast me: a 25-engineer after-sales organization created from scratch, an installer training
center to engaging 700 professionals a year, and in-house stock & order planning that I still run for my accounts.
