Big is not always beautiful. Innovation and speed is what counts ... and a clear positioning in the specific market segment. Understanding the needs of automotive customers, monitoring technology changes and a comprehensive strategic analysis followed by constant benchmarking of products and performance will help the entrepreneur identify the key success drivers of his business in a complex environment. Without these factors long-term success in the automotive industries cannot be sustained.		  
Combining a solid academic education with operational experience in a variety of different manufacturing environments is key for successful restructuring and turn-around management, merging the advantages of own experience and a professional network. Thereby, a perspective of long-term growth and sustainability will finally lead to the targeted profitability level.
