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

Selected achievements

  • Quadrupled conversion rate by redesigning the online ordering process (RheinEnergie)
  • Fully achieved 2025 online sales targets, increased leads from campaign pages by 100%, and reduced accessibility errors by around 80% (RheinEnergie)

  • Nearly doubled conversion (+80%) by further developing the webshop and customer portal for telecommunications sales (HanseNet / Telefónica)
