ABOUT YANNIK ULLRICH
I’m an Operations Leader who believes that high-level strategy is only as good as its execution on the floor. With over a decade of experience at Amazon and ALDI, I specialize in taking complex supply chain challenges and turning them into scalable, high-performing operations.My background is a mix of Industrial Engineering and Logistics Strategy, but my real passion is \"moving the needle\"—whether that’s managing large organizations or re-engineering a warehouse network across Europe.My focus areas include:Leading at Scale: Whether as an interim Site Lead or a permanent Operations Manager, my priority is always the safety and development of the people (180–250+ HC) who make the numbers possible.Strategic Lean & OpEx: I don’t just \"do\" Lean; I build the framework. I’ve architected and rolled out Lean Management concepts across 60+ EU distribution centers and coached 100+ managers (incl. C-Level) on process optimization.Digital Transformation: I bridge the gap between data and action, having designed real-time KPI Dashboards and Value Stream models that drive transparency across international networks.People-First Leadership: While I hit my targets, my real success is measured by the people I lead. I’ve coached multiple direct reports into management roles, but I find the most satisfaction in the \"thank you\" from a colleague who felt heard or supported. For me, operational excellence is impossible without a team that feels appreciated.
