Ralf

As a seasoned Managing Director and former COO with decades of experience driving operational excellence in complex industrial environments, I am now selectively offering my expertise on a short term, project based basis. I specialize in delivering rapid impact in high stakes scenarios, particularly in areas such as:
Productivity improvement initiatives under tight timelines
New product launches, from concept to scaled production
Critical supplier transitions or performance turnarounds
Lean production system implementation and continuous improvement
Having led multi site operations in the Automotive supplier industry and cross functional teams through periods of transformation, I bring not only technical depth but also the leadership agility required to stabilize, accelerate, or reset critical business functions—quickly and effectively. I am ideally suited for interim assignments where immediate results, hands on execution, and executive level insight are essential.
