Who I am
Operational excellence
built from the floor up

My name is Jean-Christophe Brunet. I'm a LEAN Six Sigma Black Belt with 21 years of experience leading continuous improvement across manufacturing, electronics, and global business services.

I've worked on the ground — as Production Manager, Industrialization Manager, and CI Lead — for companies like Honeywell, Itron, General Electric, and Sanofi. I know what it takes to make LEAN stick in the real world, not just on paper.

aLEANKey is my independent practice. I work with small and mid-size businesses across Europe and beyond — wherever operations can be made leaner, faster, and more resilient.

Why aLEANKey
Pragmatic. Field-tested. No fluff.

I don't sell methodology. I deliver results — working alongside your teams, in your language, with your constraints.

01

Real operational experience

I've led CI on the production floor and in global GBS environments. I know the difference between theory and what actually works under pressure.

02

Senior-level expertise, independent pace

You get the expertise of a seasoned Black Belt without the overhead of a large consultancy. Focused, responsive, and committed to your outcomes.

03

Europe-wide, remote-ready

Based in Hungary, working across Europe and globally remote. Whether on-site or online, I adapt to the format that makes sense for your organisation.
