Summary

As a computer science graduate, I am able to shape and make decisions in areas related to software and digitalization. Throughout my career, I have gained experience in product development and product management for software and hardware, plant management, sales, and executive management. Restructuring and transformations have been part of every stage of my professional career. In particular, since I have worked as a CEO myself in the past, my consulting is based on knowing which information is relevant to decision-makers. Providing an overview as a dashboard to quickly assess whether everything is on track, as well as in-depth risk analyses, project progress documentation, and escalation strategies, are all part of my comprehensive range of expertise. My communication skills will benefit every project. I can communicate with software service providers on an equal footing, operate confidently at CEO level, and find solutions even in challenging situations.
