About Me

Welcome to the website of K2Co, my consulting service for the food and beverage industry.
With over 30 years of experience at renowned companies in the supplier industry, I founded K2Co in November 2022.

My expertise includes knowledge of markets, products and technologies as well as the associated value chain.
My focus competencies are within research and development as well as product management and mainly shaped by my 22 years in divisional management positions.

I am energized by customer relationships based on trust, sportsmanship in competition and the realization of results.
I am inspired by the challenges of an industrial supply chain and the enriching exchange with neighboring disciplines within the value chain.
I enjoy investing in great teams and functioning processes as well as the continuous development of structures.
I am passionate about the product and being able to directly influence such important factors as good taste, nutritional value and sustainable action.

K2Co takes a very simple approach – where you need support, I am the “Co” at your side.
A practitioner with many years of industry experience and extensive expertise.
Project support individually tailored to your needs with the self-conception of working together to implement the optimal solution for you.

TWO LETTERS – ONE PROMISE – THE "CO" AT YOUR SIDE.

My Services

My range of services is generally geared to the needs of the industry and is based on my main competencies in the areas of research & development as well as product management.

My offer is aimed equally at start-ups, small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as large companies.

As your “Co”, I will be happy to support you individually from the first impulse to implementation and will be at your disposal in the form of a cooperation that best suits your needs.

With operational integration in a mandate as an interim manager and in the wider range of topics:

  • For direct exchange and the contribution of additional expertise.
  • For taking over intermediary and networking activities (internal and external).
  • For concrete tasks in larger or lengthy projects, to maintain momentum.
  • For the complete coordination and management of projects.

FROM IMPULSE TO IMPLEMENTATION.

COMING TOGETHER – KEEPING TOGETHER – WORKING TOGETHER.

Infrastructure

You are planning the general development or targeted optimization of infrastructure. 
Be it an entire functional area, such as a technical center, or specific equipment.
Be it a co-development space or – for the presentation of your prototypes – a suitable selection of attractive packaging and the necessary filling options.
In addition, the digitization of processes or the integration of software solutions into individual workflows.
The topic of infrastructure is wide-ranging, includes the needs of CAPEX and deserves an adequate dedication not only for this reason.

You realize the advantages of having a “Co” at your side, do not hesitate to contact me.

Knowledge Management

You are aware of the immense importance that the topic of know-how also has in your company. From EH&S-relevant basic knowledge to general market, product and technology knowledge to individual business processes and your own IP. 
Both the appropriate accumulation and the adequate transfer of knowledge are equally important for securing long-term competitiveness.
The concept should be anchored in the corporate culture and be visible in the daily practice of the employees.
Well thought-out digitization and the associated considerations, including the integration of AI-supported software, offer a valuable opportunity here.

If you are dealing with the topic of knowledge management – conceptually or already in your daily routine – and you need support from a “Co” at your side in this phase, do not hesitate to contact me.

Interim-Management

Your company needs additional resources and expertise. You are looking for support in a change process. You would like to fill a vacancy in the best possible way – whether in line or project responsibility, in a newly created position or as a successor. Sustainable implementation requires not only sufficient time, but also a suitable interim solution that takes responsibility and actively supports you in the process.

You appreciate the “Co” at your side – as a stabilizing element, accelerator and enabler – do not hesitate to contact me.

Structure & Processes

You have realized that your growth, the market environment or upcoming intrinsic factors require an adequate further development of your structures and may even have to set a transformation process in motion. As part of the continuous improvement of your process landscape, relevant processes and their systemic implementation should also be put to the test.

If you would like an independent and experienced “Co” at your side for this challenge, do not hesitate to contact me.

Product

You have a creative idea for a product or concept and need support in implementing it.
You are looking for a suitable packaging for your product concept or you need a suitable concept for your packaging.
As part of the life cycle management of your existing portfolio, you are planning an innovation initiative, perhaps also the revision of certain product recipes.
Or you would like to expand your product portfolio to include a previously untapped segment.
You value active participation, support in the process as well as an independent expert opinion on your product concept and the relevant product features.

All of these are convincing reasons and opportunities to have a “Co” at your side – feel free to contact me to clarify your specific needs together.
