The journey begins:
My journey began with significant insights in materials management at an aircraft service and maintenance center.
Furtheron, on adventurous ways, in an old and broken Lancia Beta Coupé, along with one cat and two dogs, I drove 2,500 miles all the way down to Mersin / Turkey. I learned logistics from scratch there. Working as a tallyman, dispatcher, shipping- and land transport agent, and later as head of administration at a Turkish shipping and oncarriage agency. Amongst others, I brought complete brick factories to the Middle East. Lingua franca: Turkish.
And then?
Changed to the export department of a “global player“ on food industry and, after two and a half decades, backed off as customer service manager. Here I had initial contacts to EU-agrarian subsidy policy. I Participated in and led several European projects, among those, some for business process improvement, and the implementation of an integrated ERP system all over Europe. Trained the European colleagues independently on the new processes. Constantly on the move. Lingua franca: English.
