Having spent nearly 35 years working for Airbus Commercial in Manufacturing Engineering and Materials & Processes Development, I bring extensive experience of aerostructure assembly and fastening systems.
I have experience in standardization and qualification of fastening systems and their installation processes as well as quality, certification, and surveillance background.
The last 10 years with Airbus, I was acting as nominated eXpert for Fastening Systems and appointed Knowledge Owner for Aerostructure Assembly in transnational, multi-skill organizations, working on projects such as Design to Cost, Harmonization, Design Guidance and Fastener Selection on various Airbus aircraft families.
Acting as Chairperson / Convenor / Expert for several public Aerospace Standardization Development Organizations, such as DIN-NL (German), ASD-STAN (European), NASC (USA) and ISO (Global) supports me to keep my large network alive.
I am nominated ASD-CERT Qualification Body for fasteners and have been working with NADCAP, working group Aerostructure Assembly, on audit questionnaires.
I offer my expertise in the frame of consulting and project support to small and medium-sized companies and to new market participants, which does not own this deep specific knowledge.
