ICH BIETE: STRATEGIE

Von der Herausforderung, eine Nachhaltigkeitsstrategie zu entwickeln bis hin zum konkreten Einstieg in ein kreislauffähiges Produkt: Ich unterstütze Sie dabei, das Thema Nachhaltigkeit strategisch aufzusetzen. Ich helfe Ihnen, die komplexen Zusammenhänge zu verstehen, aktuelle Pflichten und Regelungen im Blick zu haben und die operative Umsetzung zu bewältigen.

ICH KANN: PRODUKT

Ich bringe mehr als 30 Jahre Erfahrung in der Sport- und Modeindustrie mit – vom Handwerk über den Mittelstand bis zum Konzern. Aus meiner langjährigen Karriere bei adidas – ein Nachhaltigkeits-Champion der Branche – weiß ich, wie Nachhaltigkeit im Produkt, in der Lieferkette und in der Kommunikation angelegt sein muss, um zum Erfolg zu führen. Ich bin vertraut mit knapp bemessenen Margen und kurzfristigen Zielen – und ich bin dennoch überzeugt, daß das Thema Nachhaltigkeit mehr Chancen als Risiken für das Unternehmen eröffnet.

ICH SCHAFFE: KLARHEIT

Jedes Unternehmen ist anders. Jeder Kunde hat eine andere Herausforderung zu bewältigen. Ich höre erst einmal zu und hole meine Kunden da ab, wo sie stehen. Ich habe ein Gespür für mein Gegenüber und Freude daran, gemeinsam etwas zu erarbeiten. Ich agiere besonnen und gewissenhaft. Ich mag es, gegensätzliche Interessen einzuordnen, zu moderieren und zu einem guten Ergebnis zu führen. Ich berate konkret, lösungsorientiert und pragmatisch.

Sparring/Coaching

Together, we analyze the path you have taken, classify results and priorities.

THOUGHT LEADERSHIP

If you are more in need of inspiration or a starting point, I can provide thought-provoking presentations and workshops that help define the path.

Each session is tailored to your needs to serve as a base for initial discussions, brainstorming, and challenging the status quo.

Some topics could include:

Sustainability certificates in the textile industry: What are they about and why are they important? Which ones make sense for your company?
Material innovation: Less plastic – but how?
Eco design: What’s in it for the bottom line?

ABOUT ME

I have spent more than 30 years in leadership positions within the sporting goods & fashion industry, internationally as well as focused on the German market, at both mid-sized and large companies.

Much of my career was spent at adidas – a sustainability industry champion. As Vice President Brand Concepts & Sustainability, I was responsible for innovation concepts such as Boost, Primeknit and Parley for the Oceans.

In addition, I worked as Marketing Executive leading various initiatives such as Y-3 and adidas by Stella McCartney. In these roles, I learned to successfully bring a more sustainable approach to product management, supply chain, and communication, even with margin pressure and time constraints.

Working with Stella McCartney, a sustainability visionary, has impressed, encouraged, and shaped me.

This experience with product and brand management has given me a clear point of view on developing product innovations and related go-to-market strategies as well as on choosing the right strategic partners.

With a degree in fashion design, I know product and the importance of maintaining high-quality and being sustainable.

I am a certified CSR manager, who believes strongly in the importance of transforming the sporting goods industry towards a more sustainable future.

It is my passion to support and accelerate this transformation.
