Summary

With over 20 years of professional experience in retail, project management, and human resources, I combine strong organizational skills with strategic thinking and a strong service mindset. I work in a structured, reliable, and independent way and keep an overview even in complex projects and with many tasks running at the same time. As an interface between different departments, managers, and external partners, I ensure smooth processes and professional communication. My strength lies in analyzing processes, improving them, and structuring them in a sustainable way. In addition, I bring extensive experience in creating training materials, planning and delivering training sessions, and in project, customer, and back office management. I quickly get familiar with new topics and digital tools and support companies in working more efficiently and successfully.
