Urban began designing manufacturing equipment and quickly rose to become the quality manager at a company that manufactures technical components for the manufacturing industry. His career took off, and he was given his own P&L, responsibility for four manufacturing units, and personnel responsibility for 100 people. Thanks to the significant, measurable positive impact of his work, he was offered the position of technical manager, with responsibility for the company’s development unit and a team of over 50 people. He was subsequently promoted to Technical Manager for EMEA and then to Head of Production Development. For the next five years, he held overall responsibility as Head of Production Development and as Technical Director. For the past two years, he has transitioned to an interim role and has been engaged by three industrial companies—an electronics manufacturer, a home appliance company, and a tobacco company—all with international operations.
We recommend Urban to companies that need to build up or streamline their operations. He is particularly well-suited to serve as an interim chief operating officer, production manager, technical manager, or head of an R&D department.
