Daniel Kuepper — CEO
I am a Managing Director and Senior Partner in the Cologne office of the Boston Consulting Group. I globally co-lead BCG's Manufacturing and Supply Chain team. Since joining the firm in 2004, I have focused on operations, primarily lean and manufacturing. I have led numerous projects defining manufacturing strategy and optimizing production networks. I have also worked extensively on how manufacturing plants can unlock maximum value and foster continuous improvement. I have specific expertise in sharpening processes in direct and indirect manufacturing (incl. logistics, maintenance, and quality) and in making the best use of assets. I help clients in digitizing their operations and in designing "factories of the future"—including technology assessments (e.g., AI, advanced analytics, robotics, and additive manufacturing), Industry 4.0 programs, and developing innovative layout concepts like flexible cell manufacturing. Before joining BCG, I worked in research facilities at MIT and RWTH Aachen University.
