Andrea Abt is focused on an international portfolio of non-executive and supervisory board positions in public as well as private companies in a wide range of industries, from offshore wind and oil and gas services through energy management and gold mining to packaging, infrastructure financing and distribution in the manufacturing and building sectors.
She has chaired both a remuneration and sustainability committee and served as a member of audit, ethics and compliance and nomination committees on one and two-tier boards registered in a number of European countries and the US. Mostly nominated as an outsider to that particular industry, Andrea brings an independent international perspective, challenging strategy, process and performance in an open and constructive way, benefitting both from her extensive operational executive and non-executive experience.
Before her non-executive career, Andrea spent almost 30 years in international management and leadership roles in a wide variety of challenging environments in the Daimler-Benz and Siemens groups: building organisations, consolidating, turning them around in the areas of transportation (rail and aerospace), logistics, IT and more traditional manufacturing businesses.
Her background includes leading teams in sales, services, as Chief Financial Officer and, most recently, Chief Procurement Officer and Head of Supply Chain Management of global organizations ranging up to 9 billion € purchasing volume.
