Summary

Long-standing professional experience as an (IT) project manager, with more than 12 years as an Agile Project Manager, Agile Coach/Head (Scrum Master), and Product Owner. For the past 2 years, I have been working as an AI Coach

I have strong social skills, excellent communication and analytical abilities, and a solid background in digitization, software development, and design processes. One of my key strengths is acting as a mediator/translator between technology, creative teams, and business departments, since in my early projects and agency roles I served as a developer, creative director, and agency manager. This allows me to communicate on equal footing with IT, marketing, creative, and business units. My recent roles have been defined by projects and transformations in critical states, whether on the communication side or at the structural (especially agile) level. My experience across a variety of projects gives me the foundation for systemic analysis and corresponding action planning, including agile reorganization/setup, (agile) transformations, restructuring, coaching, mentoring, sparring, conflict management, building JIRA frameworks (also SAFe), and more.
