Summary

Complex IT projects of a larger scope are my field, where I can take on different roles: from (partial) project management to business process / requirements analysis, test management, or hands-on testing, I am active in different areas.

With now more than 20 years of experience, I have seen most trends come and, in part, go, so both classic waterfall projects and agile delivery models have crossed my path more than once.

My approach to professional challenges is analytical and communicative, and I like working in and on the details, closely with experts on both the client and service provider side. A special strength of mine is the ability to prepare and explain complex topics clearly and in a way that is easy to understand for different stakeholders.
