Background

About Patrick Schwarz

With over 20 years of experience in operations, operational excellence, and business transformation, I am a transformation expert who can positively change organizations according to business strategy. I have led and implemented holistic enterprise transformation projects across multiple global sites and regions, using lean, data, and system excellence tools and methodologies. Most recently, as the Vice President of Global Operational Excellence and Transformation at Landis+Gyr, I was responsible for defining and creating the vision for OPEX for the company's 10 global manufacturing sites and all contract manufacturers. I covered key topics such as lean management, new product introduction, transformation projects, data management, contract manufacturer management, and manufacturing technologies. I emphasized standardization, complexity reduction, and best practice sharing across all regions and functions. I also worked with the executive team and key stakeholders to align the OPEX strategy with the business objectives and customer needs. My mission is to create performance transparency, identify opportunities, create strategies and high-performing organizations, and realize results. I am passionate about delivering value, quality, and innovation to the customers and the business.
