Plant Operational Excellence Manager (OPEX)
Września

Summary

I am an Operational Excellence Manager in the automotive industry, responsible for developing and implementing initiatives that improve production and organizational processes. I have extensive experience with Lean, Six Sigma, and change management methodologies, and in recent years I have focused on leveraging AI and automation to enhance manufacturing and data-driven decision-making. According to my Insights Discovery profile, my natural working style is Coordinator-Mentor – I am systematic, analytical, reliable, and fact-oriented. I thrive in structured environments, aiming for perfection and error prevention. At the same time, I value teamwork and ensure cohesion – I support people but also consistently hold teams accountable for achieving goals. I bring stability, predictability, and the ability to translate strategy into practical actions. I enjoy combining solid data analysis with a people-focused approach – believing that real efficiency emerges at the intersection of technology and team engagement. Privately, I am passionate about sports (triathlon, running, cycling) as well as personal development and psychology, which further strengthen my discipline, resilience, and long-term planning skills.
