01
Make ownership explicit
Transformation accelerates when decisions, outcomes and handovers have named owners.
About Felix
Industrial transformation leadership grounded in engineering, products and operations.
I work where strategy must become a functioning operating system: priorities, products, data, governance and teams aligned around real operational outcomes.
Previously Head of Digital Products, Offshore Operations at RWE. Available for advisory, interim and embedded delivery engagements from January 2027.
Experience in practice
Grounded in the realities of operations.
My work in offshore operations connected product decisions with planning, maintenance, logistics and the teams using the tools. That experience shapes how I approach transformation: understand the work, clarify ownership, and build around operational constraints.
The strongest examples on this site were delivered in employed leadership roles together with cross-functional teams.
Leadership principles
02
Work from evidence
Use operational facts, user behavior and delivery feedback to shape priorities and investment.
03
Build capability into the work
Create routines and confidence the organization can sustain after an engagement ends.
