The Pop in Your Job: What drives me is transforming MES from a static execution tool into a strategic asset—scalable, intelligent, and ready to evolve. I’m passionate about building frameworks that accelerate recipe delivery, empower global collaboration, and promote operational harmony across sites. A huge driver for me is when my leadership challenges me to think bigger, push boundaries, and architect solutions that truly move the business forward. It sharpens my focus and brings out the best in my approach to building high-value MES programs. With a growing interest in Agentic MES tools, I’m constantly exploring how modular thinking and smart orchestration can reshape how we design, deploy, and support MES across the enterprise.

I’m a visionary who is intrigued by the technological developments in the MES arena and how we in the industry can adopt and benefit from these developments.

I’m fascinated by the human and organizational change that follows digitalization and technology transfer, and I’m passionate about enabling the human creativity by using IT and OT systems.
