Summary
My great strength lies in translating complexity into actionable systems.
I follow this pattern:
- Analysis of unclear tasks, their stakeholders, system dependencies, risks and business requirements.
- Creating transparency and a shared, clear vision of the target – for example through process models, responsibilities, standards, roadmaps, tracking or concrete decision documents.
- Establishing the necessary working structure: processes, governance, IT support, collaboration routines and roles.
- Getting everyone involved in the implementation and staying on it until a product, solution or changed process actually works.
For me, this is about managing and implementing transformation: I have the operational ability to enable change across business expertise, technology, organization and implementation, from start-up to large 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 corporate culture and promote long-term growth.
As additional support, I offer training in tools such as Jira and Confluence, as well as the promotion of intrapreneurship and employee wellbeing, and strive to make organizations more innovative and resilient.
