About me
I am Rawina Benoit, an expert in production optimisation through human leadership. With 15 years of experience in supply chain and production responsibility, most recently as a plant manager at Henkel, I now offer my expertise to your organisation.
I work closely with you and your teams to create an effective organisation and develop the skills of your people. My goal is to make your factory(s) more effective and sustainable for the future, fostering future growth and success.
After studying mechanical engineering and completing a doctorate at RWTH Aachen University, I worked at Henkel for 10 years and previously as a management consultant in production management. My achievements have been recognised as Top 40 under 40 (CAPITAL magazine) and thought leader (Handelsblatt).
I look forward to working with you!
