Markus BURGER

As Principal at Avencore, Markus Burger advises executives in engineering-driven industries on how to strengthen industrial competitiveness through business transformation and growth strategy. He works across industrial equipment, energy, transportation, automotive and process industries, helping organizations manage complexity and translate strategy into measurable results.

Throughout his career, Markus has focused on helping organizations realign their structures, processes, and development approaches to deliver measurable results. He has guided large-scale reorganizations that created clarity of roles and responsibilities, built new process landscapes for joint ventures, and reshaped R&D frameworks to accelerate time-to-market. In each case, the emphasis has been the same: making transformation practical, not theoretical.

With long-standing expertise in business process management, Markus combines methodological rigor with pragmatic execution. He has designed governance frameworks, introduced maturity models, and ensured that efficiency programs become part of a sustainable operating rhythm rather than isolated initiatives. This foundation allows him to identify the right levers in transformation projects, whether in R&D, operations, or cross-functional change.

In product development, Markus has enabled engineering teams to innovate faster and deliver more competitive products. He has embedded agile methods into hardware environments, aligned product development processes with strategic objectives, and lead guided IT projects from PIM & PLM implementation to S/4 HANA transformations. These experiences allow him to bridge strategy, technology, and organizational change – ensuring that digitalization and process frameworks become lived reality within organizations.
