Automotive & IT Sectors | ROI-Driven Transformation | CRP Expertise My role sits at the intersection of engineering excellence, financial discipline, and transformation leadership. As Program Manager OptiPRO, I lead a portfolio of strategic cost-reduction initiatives (CRP – Cost Reduction Projects) across the automotive and IT industries. I work closely with global OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, and technology firms to drive measurable financial improvements without compromising headcount or quality. My responsibilities include the end-to-end management of complex programs focused on increasing ROI, improving profitability, and accelerating the conversion of technical savings into direct P&L impact. I’ve built and scaled a structured CRP methodology that bridges engineering, procurement, and finance – turning technical potential into validated cost savings. Key achievements: • Delivered multi-million euro cost savings for leading automotive brands (BMW, Mercedes-Benz, VW) through tailored CRP frameworks. • Boosted project ROI and profitability through early risk mitigation, stakeholder alignment, and outcome-based KPIs. • Developed an AI-assisted project pipeline that improved conversion rate of CRP initiatives by over 30%. • Enabled strategic decision-making through transparent cost-benefit analyses and structured program governance. • Generated €12M+ savings across 7 CRP programs in 3 years.
