After studying business administration in Munich, I joined Pierburg GmbH in Neuss at the beginning of 1999, initially as Controller.

At the end of 2013, I returned to Neuss and became Chief Purchasing Officer (CPO) of the Rheinmetall Group for non-production materials and at the same time Head of Purchasing for Rheinmetall's Sensors and Actuators division (2014 - 2019). From February 2020 to December 2023, I headed Rheinmetall's Materials and Trade division. In this function I am, among other things, Managing Director of KS Kolbenschmidt GmbH.
