About Theodoros

Ich unterstütze Unternehmen dabei, ihre Supply Chain und Logistik nachhaltig zu verbessern und Kosten messbar zu reduzieren.

Mit über 20 Jahren Erfahrung in internationalen Projekten verbinde ich operative Praxiserfahrung mit strategischem Denken – von Netzwerkoptimierung und Ausschreibungen bis zur Umsetzung von Transformations- und 4PL-Modellen.

Ich arbeite pragmatisch, strukturiert und eng mit Management- und operativen Teams zusammen, um Lösungen nicht nur zu entwickeln, sondern auch erfolgreich umzusetzen.

Beispiel 1:
Logistics Transformation & Cost Optimization – Intersnack Group

Leitung eines internationalen Transformationsprojekts zur Optimierung von Ladungsträger- und Logistikstrukturen über 29 Länder hinweg.
Analyse bestehender Prozesse, Entwicklung eines Zielbildes sowie Durchführung von Ausschreibungen und Definition eines optimierten Pooling- und Operating-Modells.

Enge Abstimmung mit internationalen Stakeholdern und Präsentation der Ergebnisse auf Top-Management-Ebene. Das Projekt wurde in den strategischen Masterplan 2026 aufgenommen.


Ergebnis: Identifikation von Einsparpotenzialen von ca. 25 % sowie Verbesserung von Transparenz und Steuerbarkeit der Logistikprozesse.

Beispiel 2:
Supply Chain & Logistics Optimization – International Projects

Durchführung mehrerer Projekte zur Optimierung von Transport-, Lager- und Bestandsstrukturen in internationalen Unternehmen (FMCG, Handel, Industrie).
Schwerpunkte: Netzwerkoptimierung, Ausschreibungen (RFI/RFP), Lieferantenverhandlungen sowie Implementierung von 3PL/4PL-Modellen.

Kombination von operativer Analyse und strategischer Konzeption zur nachhaltigen Reduktion von Kosten und Verbesserung der Performance.


Ergebnis: Realisierung von Einsparpotenzialen zwischen 20–35 % sowie erfolgreiche Umsetzung von Transformationsinitiativen in komplexen, internationalen Umfeldern.
