Omschrijving

Robotics and manufacturing leader with 25+ years of experience across automotive, robotics, and advanced industrial environments (Tesla, John Deere). I help companies industrialise complex hardware, deploy automation at scale, and design manufacturing systems ready for growth.

My experience spans from greenfield factory design and assembly line industrialisation to automation strategy and logistics transformation. At Tesla, I led automation and operations projects across EMEA and built a robotic assembly line from concept to production in 6 months (€1M investment, 50 AMRs).

I typically support clients in:

- Manufacturing and industrialisation strategy

- Robotics and automation deployment (AGV, AMR, AutoStore)

- Factory design and scale-up

- Operations transformation and efficiency improvement

- Make-vs-buy decisions and supplier strategy

Currently CTO and Co-Founder of a robotics startup developing autonomous EV-charging robots.

I combine hands-on engineering with strategic execution, helping organisations move from concept to scalable operations.
