Summary
The specialization is a golden cage and I don't stay long in comfort zones.
I've known diversity, difference, and variety since childhood - so how could I take a straight path? Even today I have many interests and have kept my childlike curiosity. That has enriched me not only personally. I am shaped by intercultural experiences & trained across disciplines - a generalist with layered skills.
An explorer, a learner, a changer - someone with broad knowledge on many topics and expert knowledge in a certain area. That is the complex field of sales with business development. I also have know-how and leadership experience in process optimization, change & project management. I am an expert in these areas.
All knowledge builds on itself. In projects, I combine insights from different professional and interpersonal areas into effective solutions for today's challenges. To understand companies across all disciplines, I take different perspectives to get a clear view of the situation. I not only find weaknesses - I discover potentials by looking at the big picture. I bring this bundle of far-reaching experiences for that.
Of course the world needs specialists and I enjoy working with your experts. However, to move forward, organizations need generalists who connect the dots or act as a conductor to orchestrate everything. I offer huge added value, almost like the hub of the wheel. Someone who guides the experts and drives projects to success, because with the advantage of the broad knowledge spectrum I draw on, I see connections that specialists might miss.
In my private & professional life, I deal with all kinds of people in all kinds of situations. I am a father | psychologist | coach | mentor | boxer | artist & cook. Probably that's why my EQ is the greatest strength I use in change. At the same time, I question things more and address issues directly.
Because not only digital transformation is a change that people should go along with and support. To bring about sustainable change, effective cross-functional collaboration across department boundaries is needed. For that you need a thinker with vision who brings everything together. Someone who breaks down silos and opens drawers – for right processes & better results.
