Willner, Olga, Dr.
Bio
Olga Willner is a Senior Researcher at the BWI Center for Industrial Management at ETH Zurich. Her research agenda centers on the engineer-to-order environment with a particular focus on design automation and the organization of a global engineering.
During her Ph.D. studies, she was founder and project leader of the KTI-financed project FastETO, which was conducted jointly between ETH Zurich and three major Swiss industrial firms. Prior to her Ph.D., Olga worked as a management consultant in the field of supply chain management and logistics. Olga holds a master’s degree in Industrial Engineering and Management with majors in logistics and strategic management from the Technical University of Berlin as well as a Postgraduate Certificate in International Studies from the University of Sydney. During her studies, she gained practical experiences through internships at Daimler, DB Schenker, Porsche and Siemens in locations across Germany, Portugal and China.
