Summary

As a PhD in Business Informatics with over ten years of leadership experience in digitalization, IT, and technology projects, I combine strategic thinking with hands-on implementation. In my leadership roles and as a managing director, I restructured complex IT landscapes, initiated digital transformation processes, and sustainably digitized business processes. In doing so, I took on both entrepreneurial and consulting responsibility and technologically advanced mid-sized organizations.

My technical expertise includes modern platform architectures, data infrastructure, Microsoft 365, and automation. At the same time, I bring solid knowledge in governance, IT management, ISO-certified operations, and GenAI. I am used to leading projects with seven-figure budgets and guiding interdisciplinary teams through challenging change processes.

I develop digital strategies that are closely aligned with the company’s operational goals. The focus is on efficiency, scalability, user centricity, and future readiness. My aim is not technology for its own sake, but measurable value for the business.

I plan, implement, and manage modern IT architectures that are reliable, compliant with data protection, and scalable. I have repeatedly built and overseen complex system landscapes, including Microsoft 365, CRM, ERP, and learning platforms. Governance, operational security, and compliance are always included.

I combine deep process understanding with strong execution skills. In my projects, I have redesigned, automated, and integrated numerous workflows. This applies to internal administrative processes as well as customer-facing operations and recurring workflows. The results are higher productivity, fewer media breaks, and clear responsibilities.

I lead interdisciplinary teams and am accountable for their success even under difficult conditions. My leadership is clear, appreciative, and goal-oriented. I work closely with stakeholders to not only manage change processes but actively shape and anchor them sustainably in the organization.

As the managing director of a digital company, I bring entrepreneurial thinking and strategic responsibility for results. My parallel role as a university lecturer allows me to reflect on current technological developments and transfer them into practice. This strengthens my ability to develop sustainable and forward-looking solutions.

I see leadership as a responsibility for development: of people, processes, and organizations. My claim is not only to implement technological innovations but to embed them culturally. I foster an environment of trust, clarity, and personal responsibility, where employees can grow and help shape change. As a leader, I stand for thoughtful decisions, transparent communication, and a consistent focus on value creation and future viability.
