She brings close to twenty years of end-to-end experience across FMCG, consumer health, pharma and technology.

Her first twelve years were at Tchibo in Hamburg, latterly as Global Head of Project Management & Transformation, where she owned the five-year digital and operations roadmap, delivered €10M+ in operating-model savings, directed a €100M+ distribution centre programme that cut order lead times by 30%, and drove award-winning sustainability work that reduced emissions by 27%. Earlier, as Head of Supply Chain Management for Tchibo's largest business unit (€1.2B revenue across 20,000 European retail points), she cut retail out-of-stocks by 70% through a digital replenishment transformation.
