With now more than 24 years of experience in automotive engineering, I have been enthusiastically engaged in the consistent improvement of automobiles for motor sports and the restoration of classic vehicles for many years.
I have been able to successfully transfer much of my automotive expertise to other areas of mechanical engineering and apply it there.
Most recently, I was the technical and commercial manager of a sales GmbH, responsible for managing the development department and planning demand-oriented production of for our major customers in Europe. Thereby I was supported by my teams in Germany and China (altogether up to 80 employees).
