Profile

Independent third‑party auditor with extensive leadership experience in the food industry. I audit in German, English and French and apply risk‑based thinking, lean documentation and pragmatic shop‑floor verification to assess whether systems actually work — not just whether they are documented. My work supports regulatory compliance, credible GFSI‑benchmarked certification and tangible performance improvement (consumer protection, process capability, waste reduction).

  • Pre‑certification advisory: readiness reviews, gap assessments and action planning for FSSC 22000, IFS Food and ISO 22000/9001.
  • Targeted internal audits with a concrete objective: process optimisation, focused problem solving and systematic troubleshooting (RCA, CAP effectiveness checks).
