Summary
Senior Consultant and Interim Manager for Learning & Development, Talent Management and HR Transformation – with over 12 years of experience in international corporations, mid-sized organizations and digital business models. I design and scale L&D and talent structures that really work: from learning strategy and LMS implementations to building consulting academies and succession frameworks for top-level management.
What sets me apart: Sound PE and L&D expertise combined with strong technical IT know-how – I think strategically, work pragmatically and speak the language of HR, business and IT alike. No concept without implementation – no rollout without impact.
