Analytical work, operational leadership and delivering complex projects – that is the common thread of my career.
I am Mag. (FH) Andreas Zich, founder and owner of AZentron Solutions and former Director Supply Chain Management at HOFER. Since 2026 I have been supporting companies as a consultant, external project manager, interim manager and sparring partner for executives. From my office in Oberwang I work as a supply chain expert for Upper Austria, Salzburg and Bavaria; from my office in Altenmarkt an der Triesting for Vienna, Lower Austria and Burgenland.
My background in sales and key account management rounds out my view of supply chain and logistics: I know what logistics has to deliver for sales – and what it costs when it does not.
