Hi, I'm Michael!
Most print managers see projects. I see opportunities for systematic transformation. My approach goes beyond traditional project management—I'm a technical architect of print efficiency who turns operational challenges into strategic advantages.
Drawing from extensive experience in the printing and graphic arts sector, I've successfully guided projects across marketing communications departments, brand management, and multi-plant printing operations. This comprehensive background enables me to provide practical solutions that help clients streamline their print processes and achieve measurable results.
I offer three interconnected services designed to enhance brand consistency,
accelerate efficiency, and save costs. I ensure on-time, on-spec delivery for
every project, while promoting sustainability in print processes.
Let me help you optimize your print supply chain. I focus on strategic print buying, supplier evaluation, and project management to drive efficiency, speed up time to market and reduce costs. My approach is like building a well-oiled machine: once set up, you can swiftly run print projects through this system with minimal friction. By implementing robust standards and quality control, I help you maintain brand consistency and reduce your carbon footprint.
I consult on artwork development, prepress, and workflow optimization. My expertise ensures designs translate flawlessly from concept to print, maintaining brand consistency across all materials. I specialize in streamlining multilingual artwork processes, reducing complexity for global campaigns. By taking control of your artwork and integrating suppliers into one workflow, you'll significantly improve time to market and efficiency.
Acting as the crucial connector,
I align print suppliers, agencies, freelancers and internal teams to create an efficient workflow. By coordinating all stakeholders, managing timelines, and solving cross-functional challenges, I ensure your projects are delivered on time, on spec, and on budget.
This holistic approach optimizes your print operations across all dimensions - quality, speed, precision, cost and environmental responsibility.
Why work with me?
My background combines deep experience in both project management and printing processes.
This dual expertise enables me to approach print projects with a comprehensive perspective, balancing strategic oversight with technical insight. By understanding both the managerial and technical aspects of print production, I can effectively navigate complex projects, anticipate challenges, and develop integrated solutions that drive efficiency and quality.
My approach focuses on thorough preparation and stakeholder engagement. Together we create a solid project blueprint incorporating insights from all key parties. This ensures everyone is aligned, facilitating smooth execution. Clear communication throughout enhances efficiency. I strongly believe time invested in preparation and communication yields significant returns and speeds up implementation.
My career spans the entire print and artwork spectrum, from advertising campaigns to large-scale print productions. I've successfully navigated diverse challenges in managing print, artwork, and prepress for multi-lingual catalogs, packaging, marketing collateral, POS, and more. This broad experience allows me to approach each project with a unique, holistic perspective, ensuring efficient solutions from concept to delivery.
I collaborate with a range of professionals to deliver tailor made solutions. My network includes print and prepress suppliers & experts, art directors, graphic designers, and marketers. With this talent pool I assemble ideal teams for each project, providing specialized knowledge and creative insights. Through this network, I offer integrated solutions addressing all aspects of your print and packaging needs.
Working with industry leaders
I absolutely believe in the power of cooperation and networked organizations. By joining forces, small companies and specialists can achieve remarkable results. This philosophy drives my open approach to partnerships, with skilled project management as the key enabler for orchestrating this networked approach.
This collaborative mindset has led to valuable partnerships across the industry, particularly in complex packaging print projects. I partner with
Co-efficiënt, a renowned consultancy in the packaging industry. Co-ëfficiënt maintains a strategic partnership with Bobst, a world-leading supplier of equipment and services to packaging manufacturers. Among others, I manage the OEE improvement and standardization projects for Co-efficient in their Bobst partnership.
This network of high-level connections amplifies my capabilities and allows me to leverage cutting-edge industry knowledge. It underscores my ability to navigate challenging print and packaging scenarios, bringing world-class expertise to every project I manage.
