My many years of project experience in the IT business environment provide a solid basis to carry out the IT projects you need in a successful way.

A short introduction of myself. My motto “... never waste time”, a slogan from my own project management software

I come from Siemens and have core training in electronics, a business informatics high school diploma, and more than twenty years of IT experience in software development, administration, building high-performance cluster systems and planning data centers.

My internet expertise is based on my role as internet site manager for setting up Internet and Intranet at Siemens AG. As consultant and project manager for over 250 people, I planned and built what was at the time (2005-2007) the most modern data center in Europe. My high social skills and trust-building personality are the cornerstones of my dynamic methodology and quality-driven didactics.

My professional qualification as an IT professional and external consultant comes from my various roles and long experience with international corporations.

Tasks and methods in problem/information management, IT software development, project management and IT organization form my core competencies.
