Industrial companies grow faster than their processes can handle

Plans don’t match
Sales, production, and finance each plan separately with different numbers and priorities.
Decisions take too long
No single owner of the end-to-end process, too many approvals, unclear accountability
Firefighting becomes routine
Calls, chats, and urgent fixes replace structured meetings and clear planning
Inventory grows — or runs out
Warehouses overflow, production lags, and no one can clearly answer why.
Processes depend on people, not systems
Knowledge lives in spreadsheets or “key employees,” not in a transparent workflow.
Analysis is always late
When plans fail, it takes days to understand what went wrong and who is responsible.

These are the 3 pillars that separate scaling from chaos

[ 1 ]
One source of truth

You need a shared data and KPIs everyone follows to align decisions
‍

[ 2 ]
Connected decision-making

You need one synchronized planning process to align departments

[ 3 ]
Leadership alignment

You need a real process owner to ensure accountability and execution
‍

Why work with me?

International experience across 8+ markets
Led ERP and IBP transformations across Europe and the Middle East.

Successfully adapted to different company cultures and operational realities.
I speak the language of CFOs, Supply chain professionals, planners, and IT teams
Started in finance, so I understand budgets, P&L, and numbers.

But I also know how those numbers are formed inside daily operations.

That’s why I can align strategy, finance, and execution around shared goals.
Not just me — a team behind every project
I lead a small team of analysts, planners, and technical experts who support each project.

They handle diagnostics, process mapping, Excel, Power BI, and SAP implementation.

This lets me focus on strategy while they execute the changes.
Built systems from zero, not inherited them
I didn't manage systems designed at headquarters.

I built them from scratch, side by side with teams who trusted me.

That's why I know what truly works in practice, not just in theory.
Straightforward, no-corporate-bullshit consulting style
I don't fit the "Big 3" consulting mold.

I work where decisions happen fast, in the same meeting, not next quarter.

I value clarity, accountability, and results over slides and buzzwords.
Holistic approach to IBP integration
I go beyond recommendations.

I create working models, Excel and Power Query tools, and ERP prototypes.

This makes transformation tangible and usable from day one.

Are we a good fit?

You’ll get the most value from working together if...

Growth is outpacing your planning capabilities

You’re expanding to new markets or scaling production,but planning, procurement, and operations can’t keep up.

Each department plans in isolation

Sales, production, and finance each have their own plans —and no one really knows which numbers are right

Firefighting instead of strategic planning

You spend time fixing urgent issues instead of improving how the business runs. You want predictability, not crisis management.

Leadership is ready to drive real change

The project sponsor is an owner, CEO, or COO —someone with authority to make and sustain real changes.

Chaos is a symptom, not your culture

You recognize that constant phone calls, manual planning, and mismatched spreadsheets aren’t a sign of hard work — they’re a sign to fix the system
