Summary
I bring over 20 years of experience in agile project management, process design and release management in large-scale digital organizations. My focus is on simplifying workflows, creating clear interfaces, and helping agile teams effectively connect technical and business requirements.
I see myself as a communicator and bridge builder: I make complexity manageable, create transparency, and bring stakeholders and teams onto a shared goal. With a broad technical background and a pragmatic "Engineering Mindset", I find practical solutions that work in daily operations – from structuring and introducing processes to embedding them sustainably through appropriate tooling and reporting approaches (e.g. Jira/Confluence), without getting lost in methodology or perfection.
