Summary
Over 25 years of experience in digital product development and transformation, self-employed since 2011 as an interim manager, team lead and product owner.
Led teams of up to 12 people and built new teams and structures. My strength: structuring and simplifying complexity, clarifying responsibilities, and aligning business units, IT and management around a shared goal.
Today, my focus is AI: identifying and prioritizing use cases, introducing AI agents and automation, and guiding teams through change.
How I help: Supporting companies and business units with digital transformation, increasingly with AI:
- Manage digital projects: Take responsibility for products, platforms and relaunches from strategy through go-live
- Build teams and structures: Set up digital teams, clarify roles and processes, and guide people through change
- Introduce AI: Identify where AI can make a real difference, redesign processes and manage the implementation across the organization, even without a dedicated AI team
