Automotive & suppliers

Transform instead of waiting – with the right people

Suppliers are reshaping capacity, relocating production and opening new business fields. I help reposition sites and fill the key roles they need.

The situation

Cost pressure, electrification, relocation

Many suppliers face cost pressure, electrification and the question of which production remains in Germany at the same time. Meanwhile, sites are emerging in Eastern Europe, Portugal and Mexico. Electronics, software and quality specialists remain scarce.

My experience

Twelve years at BMW – I know plant logic from the inside

I learned the automotive industry over more than twelve years at BMW – in five roles, from building plants in Brazil and Mexico with around 6,000 hires to global quality management for engines and e-drive.

Automotive recruiting & interim HR

Plant build-up recruiting and automotive interim HR

For me, plant build-up recruiting means understanding how a plant works. I fill production, quality and leadership roles for suppliers in Germany and support new site build-ups – from the first hire to a full workforce.

As an automotive interim HR lead, I take on leadership for a defined period: setting up recruiting, standardising HR processes, leading teams – as I did for the plant build-ups in Brazil and Mexico.

For sites in Italy, I advise on market entry, HR strategy and team build-up – with salary benchmarks and organisational concepts.
