Summary
Through my experience in different industries and roles, I have learned to move between the technical world and the business or management world. I speak both languages and help bridge the gap between them.
I make sure that software projects are commissioned, planned, and implemented successfully, without customers needing expertise in IT or software.
In the different projects, I have learned that every customer likes a different level of detail. From «just do it, I do not want to be involved» to «I want regular reports and to be deeply involved» everything is possible.
