Raised on a farm, I developed a strong foundation in hard work, resilience, and adaptability —qualities that have become integral to my professional journey. Today, as the founder of Worm Operation & Strategy Consulting, I leverage these principles to help businesses navigate complex operational challenges and design efficient, resilient supply chains.

With a deep-rooted passion for running, I understand the importance of discipline, consistency, and strategic planning — principles that mirror the challenges and opportunities in the business world. Just as I push my limits in training and races, I am dedicated to pushing boundaries for my clients, ensuring they achieve their operational and strategic goals.

My career spans a diverse range of industries, blending hands-on operational experience with strategic leadership. Starting at the site level, I learned how to master the nuances of local operations before expanding my impact to global initiatives. I like to have the ability to navigate both operational execution and high-level strategy, which allows me to deliver comprehensive solutions that drive growth and efficiency. With expertise in supply chain management, digitalization, and project management, I know how to integrate local insights with global perspectives, making me a versatile leader capable of driving success at all organizational levels and end-to-end supply chain optimization.
