Chief Transition Officer, Interim Manager & Mentor
Joachim Hensch has a profound and holistic knowledge in garment manufacturing, technology and innovation. Starting as a tailor in bespoke couture, he then moved to the ready to wear business and has taken various positions in product development and production. In 2015 he became managing director in the Izmir factory of HUGO BOSS Group with 3800 employees.
His mission was to transform the organization into a flexible and responsive Smart Factory with the means of industry 4.0. That, to be better prepared for a highly volatile, demanding and impatient market environment. Within this approach he is in the forefront of innovation excellence in garment manufacturing and thus the Izmir Factory is a role model today for the global apparel industry.
He believes in agile, SCRUM based project execution and flat hierarchies to cope with today’s pace of doing business. In September 2020 he founded his own Consulting firm and thus helps manufacurers and Startups with their tranformation towards modern manufacturing methods and mindsets. He lives in Stuttgart, Germany.
