I am currently working as a Automotive Seating System Engineer for Ford Transit NA and EU regions. I am leading weekly meetings with safety and core teams based on regulative and design related topics. I am also managing seat suppliers to align on their project time plan to reach target program milestones on time with required level of parts/ tools/ design levels. I am frequently reporting engineering financials and technical statuses to my Manager, Chief Program Engineer and Global Director.

I was the key account for my customer AUTOLIV’s projects. Even Farel was part of one of the leader German Plastic Part Supplier Wirthwein AG as a company, it was a medium sized injection factory with 50 machines and 300 workers. It turned into an ordeal job for me that I have to deal each technical and commercial problem very closely and detailed to satisfy my customer but in the end of 2 years all these efforts were going to pay itself with obtaining many great skills on project management.
