DEKRA Starnberg

IHK-Ausbildung · IT Systems Technician · Starnberg, Germany · 2

As a trained IT systems technician who completed up to the sixth semester of a degree in business informatics, I combine technical know-how with an understanding of business. I interrupted my studies for family reasons. My training and studies give me a broad perspective on IT, processes, and business requirements.

My key strengths are crisis management, transition management, and change management. Especially in challenging situations, I keep an overview, organize complex issues, and develop practical solutions. I help companies get through critical phases, manage transitions in an orderly way, and implement changes that last.

My broad technical background helps me quickly get to grips with different IT environments and tasks. I look at technical challenges not in isolation, but in relation to the people, processes, and business goals involved.

What sets me apart is a calm, analytical, and solution-focused approach, clear communication, and a willingness to take responsibility. My goal is to provide direction even in demanding circumstances and achieve lasting results together.
