Hands-on support
Many engineers are technically strong but struggle to grow into leadership, increase their strategic impact, or navigate complex organizations with confidence.
Over the past 15+ years, I’ve worked across aerospace, automotive, and MedTech industries, leading international engineering teams, automation programs, and digital transformation initiatives. I currently serve as Engineering Senior Manager at Johnson & Johnson, where I lead strategic automation initiatives for the EMEA medical device supply chain.
Before joining Johnson & Johnson, I worked at Beyond Gravity in Switzerland, where I led projects related to smart factories, robotics, computer vision, and operational excellence, contributing to initiatives generating over €1M in annual savings.
Alongside my corporate career, I mentor startups and collaborate with international accelerators including SpaceFounders, Founder Institute, and the CASSINI Business Accelerator.
I primarily help:
• Engineers transitioning into leadership roles
• Technical professionals looking to increase their strategic visibility
• Engineering managers navigating growth and organizational complexity
• Professionals exploring innovation, automation, and career transitions
My mentoring style is practical, honest, and action-oriented. I enjoy helping people clarify their goals, improve communication and leadership skills, and accelerate their professional growth without losing authenticity.
If you're looking for a mentor who combines real-world engineering leadership with innovation and international experience, feel free to reach out and book an intro call.
I’m happy to share that I’ve obtained a new certification: Transformational Leader - Bronze Award from Performance Consultants International!
