My Leadership Framework: A Proven Methodology for Impact

I have consistently delivered measurable impact, including €63M+ in value and 35% portfolio cost reductions, by applying a proprietary leadership framework I personally developed and refined. This methodology is built on three essential pillars: Idea Quality, Relationship Quality, and Execution Excellence.

This framework is my strategic edge. It allows me to generate pragmatic, data-backed solutions (Idea Quality), build high-trust teams and align stakeholders from the shop floor to the C-suite (Relationship Quality), and land complex change with rigorous PMO governance and benefits tracking (Execution Excellence).

My expertise is validated by elite certifications, including the micro1 Senior Strategic Program Manager (Top 1% Global), Google Project Management, and Lean Six Sigma. These credentials are not just badges, they are the tools I integrate into my framework to ensure that supply chains and operations run better, faster, and safer.

The Three Pillars of My Framework

Quality of Ideas

I prioritize strong ideas regardless of origin, creating environments where valuable input is encouraged, respected, and transformed into concrete outcomes.

Quality of Relationships

I foster open communication, mutual respect, and trust, knowing genuine collaboration thrives on strong, transparent relationships built on shared values.

Implementation Excellence

I am results-driven and committed to executing ideas with precision, adaptability, and impact through strategic thinking and consistent follow-through.
