Summary
I am a driver of digital value creation:
Do you know how I climbed Kilimanjaro? With discipline, perseverance and consistent execution. These three attributes also define the way I work.
As a driver of digital value creation, I create clarity in demanding transformations and rescue critical IT projects. To do this, I bring strategies, technologies and people together and take responsibility when direction, structure and the ability to execute have been lost.
I support mid-sized companies, family-owned businesses and corporations in three key areas:
- Realignment of IT organizations and business processes
- Execution of complex transformation programs
- Stabilization and safeguarding of critical IT projects
preferred project roles:
- IT Interim Manager | Interim CIO | Interim Head of IT
- Transformation Manager | Digitalization Consultant | Digital Advisory Board Member
- IT Project Manager | Program Manager | Project Turnaround Manager (Project Rescuer)
Benefit from my international leadership experience, my Executive MBA and my pragmatic ability to execute. I am your strategic sparring partner for management and decision-making bodies.
My leadership approach: Digitalization with sound judgment, clarity and the ability to execute. Create clarity. Provide direction, reduce complexity. Drive digitalization forward. Achieve impact.
What I am not: I am not another consultant or merely an administrator of the IT organization. What I am: Your driver of digital value creation in the company.
I communicate clearly, address risks at an early stage and take responsibility for decisions when change is necessary but direction, structure and the ability to execute are lacking. In this way, I create direction, trust and the foundation for sustainable success.
