Summary

simplify & standardize

In a world of digital transformation, in which data becomes money and money becomes data, one's own focus is an important criterion for success. My goal is to drive digital change by optimizing processes and systems. I want to support making the right choice between standardization and individualization. I benefit from many years of experience in IT operations, application management and software development in a highly regulated business environment. There is no silver bullet between in-house operations and public cloud use, shoring and sourcing, classic and agile project management. The optimal solution is the focus on one's own business purpose and the consistent, continuously re-alignment of all processes to it.

empower & trust

As an external and internal consultant and project manager in SMEs and corporations, I have worked with supportive and demanding, fair and trustful executives. I got to know innovative leaders, but sometimes also administrative managers. Today, this experience is particularly valuable in the responsibility for about 40 internal and external employees at various European locations. Their concerns have the highest priority in order to motivate them on their way and to create the best possible environment for them.

comprehend & decide

In order to be able to make good decisions at the right time, it is important to prepare facts and options as objectively and analytically as possible without losing sight of the big picture. Nevertheless, in addition to taking the initiative and a certain decisiveness, understanding the interests of partners and customers is always essential. Experience, pragmatism and open communication helps me to convince others in their own interests. This often includes a healthy balance of assertiveness and consensus.
