Christian Pum

After studying commercial sciences at the Vienna University of Economics and Business Administration, specializing in marketing, financing and foreign trade, I began my professional career in sales and marketing of machinery and equipment for the plastics processing industry. For more than 30 years, I held various management positions at globally operating companies in the mechanical engineering and construction supply industry, including more than 15 years as Managing Director.

I have an international network and experience, particularly in the plastics processing industry with a focus on the automotive, medical and packaging sectors, but also in the construction industry due to my work as Managing Director of a major Austrian company in the construction supply industry.

In addition to the strategic and operational management of sales, particularly strategic projects included the realignment of the corporate culture, acquisitions of companies, complete restructuring of the sales organization, development of the e-commerce business, HR transformation project and entry into the Chinese market with local production and a two-brand strategy.

I am an enthusiastic manager and always focus on challenging, promoting and developing people sustainably with a high degree of authenticity and appreciation.
