In my current role I am a customer solution consultant engaging customers on digitalization of manufacturing processes. In this role, I explore bottlenecks in the production processes, ideate new products and concepts with customers, and translate technical requirements to business requirements and vice versa. Consequently, I am also responsible for setting up digitalization projects, Go to market strategy, and project implementation at various customer sites.

Pop in my job/ motivators

1. Problem solving with digitalization: I enjoy dealing with complex issues and uncertainty that comes with developing, implementing and maintaining digital products in manufacturing sites. The complexity and risk are compounded by the fact that you are dealing with multiple third-party systems, different generation of machines, standards and protocols and most importantly varied cultures, expectations and needs, and management styles.

2. Creating new products: I am driven by the idea of creating something new and by the entire product development process. From ideation to prototyping, testing, releasing, feedback generation, and the CI/ CD process.

3. Making a quantifiable impact or achieving results: it gives me immense pleasure to see a product or service do its job properly and meet shareholder expectations.
