Summary
My greatest strength lies in translating complexity into actionable systems.
I follow this approach:
- Analysis of unclear tasks, their stakeholders, system dependencies, risks, and business requirements.
- Creating transparency and a shared, clear target vision – for example through process models, responsibilities, standards, roadmaps, tracking, or concrete decision documents.
- Building the necessary work structure: processes, governance, IT support, collaboration routines, and roles.
- Getting everyone involved to implement the solution and staying on it until a product, solution, or changed process actually works.
For me, this is about steering and implementing transformation: I have the operational ability to enable change across business expertise, technology, organization, and implementation – from start-up to corporation.
With a background in the automotive industry and now 7 years in the energy sector, I am highly motivated to develop sustainable solutions across industries that strengthen company culture and promote long-term growth.
As additional support, I offer training in tools such as Jira and Confluence, as well as promoting intrapreneurship and employee health. I strive to make organizations more innovative and resilient.
