Transforming Ideas into Successful Products
I’m a Product Design Engineer turned Manufacturing Leader, with 10+ years of experience delivering complex projects end to end and turning ideas into robust, manufacturable products. My background in mechanical design and product development means I approach challenges with analytical rigor, creative problem‑solving, and a strong focus on efficiency, cost, and industrial feasibility.
Today I act as a Manufacturing Manager and team lead: I coordinate multidisciplinary teams, steer industrialization and product launches, and make sure strategy, design, and operations stay tightly aligned. I’m known for bringing structure to complexity, keeping teams engaged, and driving results in demanding, fast‑changing environments.
A core strength is leadership through negotiation: aligning internal stakeholders, building trust with international suppliers, and creating win‑win solutions that balance quality, cost, and timelines. I create clarity, foster collaboration, and turn competing interests into shared objectives.
What sets me apart is my ability to link technical insight with business impact. I focus on scalable, sustainable solutions while leading people and operations with purpose, transparency, and a clear sense of direction

Project leadership
I lead people and products where business impact is clearest: at the intersection of innovation, cost, and industrial execution. I’ve driven product development initiatives that balance design ambition with market needs and factory realities, consistently keeping projects on track while meeting cost targets and securing significant savings without compromising quality.
As Manufacturing Manager at Kave Home, I lead a multidisciplinary team in charge of price negotiation, supplier development, critical processes, and product re‑engineering, working directly with an international supplier base across Asia (India, Vietnam, Malaysia, China, Indonesia) and Europe. This role has sharpened my ability to influence without formal authority, build trust with partners from different cultures, and align cross‑functional teams around clear objectives, KPIs, and deadlines.
From managing the full product lifecycle to setting up production lines, training operators, and running pre‑mass production tests, I know how to mobilize people, structure execution, and deliver results in demanding environments. Beyond corporate roles, I co‑founded a start‑up developing innovative sports scoreboards, bringing together design, engineering, and hands‑on leadership to guide a small team from concept and prototyping through to market launch—demonstrating that I can lead both in structured organizations and entrepreneurial settings.
