About Florian

Operating at director level, I hold end-to-end accountability for program delivery, investment and commercial governance, and senior stakeholder alignment. I regularly orchestrate international teams and multi-vendor ecosystems, manage delivery risk, and ensure regulatory, quality, and security alignment. Engagements are positioned at Director to Senior Director / VP-track level, acting as program lead, transformation leader, or strategic advisor.

I am a Director of Enterprise Strategy and Digital Transformation specializing in global, regulated environments across electronics, healthcare and life sciences. My work focuses on leading complex enterprise transformations at director and executive-mandate level – the crossing of business strategy, data, technology, and compliance.

Over the past 11+ years, I have led global initiatives including enterprise data platforms, digital R&D transformations, laboratory automation, pricing optimization, and large-scale platform and organizational separations. My roles are typically positioned at the intersection of C-level strategy, with accountability for governance, architecture decisions, vendor strategy, regulatory alignment, and global rollout execution.

I partner with executive leadership at Merck Group, Fresenius Medical Care und CSL Behring, delivering high-impact transformations in regulated environments. I translate strategy into executable, compliant, and scalable solutions, aligning business, IT, data, quality, security, and partners. I operate internationally in director-level and executive mandates requiring clear ownership and delivery excellence.
