He works with various internal partners and allies throughout the organization in an international setup in all areas of the automotive supplier business.
Jens has an education as researcher and teacher in the academic world with the subject of experimental physics.

From there he entered a role as consultant and specialist for development methods. He currently works on the system rather than in the system.
His current interests range from conceptual work on the topics of training strategies or rather methods where he re-iterates the idea of self-similarity and the interaction between product architecture and organizational structures in addition to his responsibility to train, develop and consult on method application. He is 53 years old and now lives for nearly 15 years in Lower Bavaria (Germany).
