Summary
Are you looking for a problem-solver rather than a "problem-finder"? They can be removed so they no longer block my way forward. How can I help your business move ahead? Create value for my clients with an open mind combined with personal leadership and facilitation skills. I help resolve tense situations.
I take responsibility as a senior project manager in IT infrastructure for global enterprises and in the telecom business. I also manage the (re-)design and adaptation of ITSM processes within transition and transformation programs or in M&A situations, carve-outs or carve-ins.
IT Service Management expert with seven ITIL certifications and recently certified in ISO27001 – ISMS (Information Security Management System).
Enabling digital transformation for over 30 years in various professional roles. Next-level stakeholder management. Leading multicultural teams including nearshore and offshore.
I volunteer with the Lutheran Church as a lay preacher (Praedikant) and my Christian faith is a solid foundation for helping people in traumatic situations through the local authority 'emergency pastoral care service' (Notfallseelsorge). I also volunteer in the 'probation service' (Bewaerungshilfe).
