Thomas Nacke-Interim Manager

I am a Senior IT Project and Program Manager with more than 20 years of experience leading complex, international IT transformation programs. My focus is on end-to-end project control – from concept and governance to stakeholder management, successful delivery, and transition into operations. In my previous assignments, I have been responsible for large workplace transformations, cloud migrations, and rollout programs with up to 14,000 clients. I bring strong expertise in Microsoft 365, Windows transformation, Microsoft Intune, as well as application readiness and rollout management. What makes me stand out is the combination of strategic management skills and technical understanding. I take responsibility quickly in critical project situations, manage risks, escalations, and international stakeholders with confidence, and make sure projects are delivered on time, on budget, and in quality. Methodically, I work securely with PRINCE2 as well as in agile settings, combining structured governance with pragmatic delivery. My focus is always on achieving lasting results and successfully aligning complex project landscapes.

My focus areas include managing complex projects in the private sector, large enterprises, and large medium-sized companies in automotive/FDL/TelKo/IT/HighTech/Consumer Goods, as well as for public sector clients.

My strong communication skills also help me ensure an efficient flow of information in complex stakeholder structures.
