I am an experienced project manager who pushes constantly for completion while keeping the delivery focus on the customer problem to be fixed.

Methodologies and frameworks are vehicles that I pragmatically adapt to the needs of the delivery product and organization to achieve the desired outcome.

I love to be part of the requirements engineering as this is the basis for the scoping of the delivery project for both – customer specific solutions and standardized products. This deep understand of the requirements then also allows the effective problem solving to remove roadblocks.

A strong theoretical background and hands on experience in mechanical engineering and industrial manufacturing allows me to also take over work packages within the delivery scope as well as support other team members if needed. Past projects allowed deep insights in many further verticals and areas like:
  • Automotive
  • Machine tools
  • German public sector
  • Road construction
  • Financial products (EaaS)
  • Organizational development

Looking forward to discussing potential engagements with you!
