Ilse Henne — CEO
Experienced international manager in the materials trading business. Strong in people management and strategical renewal, specifically in corporate environment. Various academic degrees and fluent in five languages. Triggered by the concept of change. Context drives behavior, behavior drives performance. What is important to me in a strategic realignment in the corporate environment? Proximity to the customer. Together with my team, I design a new approach that ensures a balance between performance and values. Dialog-oriented communication is an important point for me – in this respect, the following is helpful for me: More than 15 years of successful management experience, various academic degrees and the 5 languages I speak, but also the understanding and interest for the different matters of all stakeholders in the company. That's why I can be found not only behind my desk, but on site in the branches, in the warehouse or at trainee events. I want to know what moves and occupies our employees, because their actions determine the development of the company. Our goal is always to master the increasing complexity of all processes through process optimization. Consistent implementation in many small steps, supported by open communication and cooperation at eye level, leads us to success.
