Maintenance & Operations (M&O): introducing a dedicated team for system engineering, security, stable operations and continuous improvement
AI Initiatives: identifying and promoting practical Artificial Intelligence use cases across the IT department
As Interim Head of IT for a German medium-sized industrial distributor, I am responsible for 31 IT employees and lead the digital and organizational transformation, reporting directly to executive leadership. I took over an IT department with almost no basic structures – no clear roles, processes, documentation or ticket system – and with significant technical debt that tied up most of its capacity. Introduced agile principles and ways of working in the IT organization and transformed the traditionally structured IT department into cross-functional Scrum and Kanban teams focused on transparency, collaboration, and customer value delivery.
Redesigned the entire IT organization by establishing a modern operating model, introducing new roles such as Product Owner, Scrum Master and Solution Architect and strengthening the organization through strategic hiring and targeted capability development. Recruited and onboarded Agile Coaches to accelerate the transformation and personally managed and coached Scrum Masters as well as IT department leaders to foster servant leadership, self-management and a culture of continuous improvement.
Aligned IT-internal planning across eight teams to three Flight Levels based on Klaus Leopold (strategy, coordination, team), laying the foundation for later company-wide portfolio management. Consolidated the backlog of more than 10 workstreams and prioritized it by business value and cost of delay. Introduced a ticketing system to increase transparency and enable data-driven decision-making, flow-based work management, and greater accountability at all levels.
Established and supported multiple cross-functional teams, including the Operational Core (ERP) domain with dedicated streams for Support, Feature Development and ERP Migration, as well as teams responsible for Warehouse Operations, Maintenance & Operations (M&O) including system engineering and security, Modern Workplace, Data Quality and integration initiatives. Worked closely with Agile Coaches to support team development, remove impediments, and continuously improve delivery effectiveness.
Acted as Interim Product Owner for the operation and enhancement of the existing ERP landscape while supporting the ERP migration as a Project Manager. Reorganized the project organization and had the already negotiated contract with the implementation partner realigned with a focus on approach and overall responsibility; Phase 1 (financial accounting) has been live since October 2025. Collaborated with the selected implementation partner to design and establish the project organization and target operating model for the ERP transformation, introducing agile delivery structures and ways of working. Facilitated the alignment between business, IT and the external vendor and played a key role in negotiating the contractual framework and delivery model to ensure a sustainable foundation for the transformation program.
Initiated the strategic modernization of the workplace environment through the adoption of Microsoft 365 cloud capabilities, establishing the foundation for enhanced collaboration, scalability and future digital services.
Launched AI initiatives to identify practical business use cases and promote the responsible adoption of Artificial Intelligence across the IT department. Encouraged self-management and empowered teams to take ownership of decisions, delivery and continuous improvement.

About the technology
What Sketch is
Sketch is a digital product design application focused on user interfaces, interaction flows and visual systems. It is widely used for web products, mobile apps and responsive experiences, with a strong focus on vector-based layouts and reusable components. The product is commonly known simply as Sketch or Sketch app.
Core deliverables
Sketch specialists turn early ideas into clear, testable interface work. Typical deliverables include:
- Wireframes and high-fidelity interface screens
- Clickable prototypes for user and stakeholder reviews
- Shared symbols, text styles and component libraries
- Responsive layouts for web and mobile products
- Developer-ready specifications and asset exports
Ecosystem and workflow
Sketch supports a structured workflow built around artboards, symbols, libraries, variables and prototypes. Strong professionals understand document organization, design tokens, accessibility considerations and versioned collaboration through Sketch Workspace. They may also connect Sketch work with tools such as Jira, Notion, Slack, Zeplin or developer handoff processes.
When companies need help
Companies often bring in freelance Sketch expertise when a product needs a consistent visual language or an existing file has become difficult to maintain. External specialists can establish a scalable library, prepare a redesign, validate key journeys or improve the path from approved designs to implementation. This is useful when internal product teams need focused interface capacity without adding a permanent role.
Sketch compared with alternatives
Sketch is often considered alongside Figma, Adobe XD and other interface design tools. Its strengths include a mature component model, precise vector editing and a workflow familiar to teams with established Sketch files. The right choice depends on collaboration needs, existing libraries, platform preferences and how closely design work must connect with product delivery.
Signs of strong expertise
Quality is visible in the file as well as the final screens. Look for professionals who can explain design decisions, keep layers and components orderly, test flows with realistic states and prepare practical handoff documentation. Useful evidence includes:
- A coherent naming and layout structure
- Components that support real product variations
- Prototypes that cover key states and transitions
- Accessible, responsive and implementation-aware decisions
Frequently asked questions
Key details about Sketch, drawn from the questions we get asked most.
Sketch is used to design interfaces for websites, mobile apps and digital products. Teams also use it for wireframes, interactive prototypes, design systems, visual assets and developer handoff.
Sketch offers a mature interface design workflow with strong vector editing, symbols and shared libraries. Figma is often preferred for browser-based collaboration, while Sketch can suit teams that already have established files, components and Workspace processes.
A strong Sketch specialist may also understand user research, interaction design, accessibility, responsive layouts and design systems. Familiarity with product discovery, prototyping and developer handoff helps turn interface files into usable product decisions.
The required level depends on the work. A small screen update may need focused interface production, while a redesign or shared library requires a Sketch professional who can structure complex files, handle product states and guide decisions with stakeholders.
Yes. Sketch work is well suited to remote collaboration through shared Workspace documents, comments, prototypes and scheduled reviews. Clear ownership of files, timely feedback and agreed handoff practices matter more than being in the same office.
Sketch is a good fit when a team needs precise interface design, reusable components and a consistent visual system. It is especially practical for organizations with existing Sketch libraries or a workflow centered on detailed design files and structured handoff.
Review the complete file, not only polished screens. High-quality Sketch work uses clear naming, reusable components, realistic interaction states, accessible choices and prototypes that reflect the actual product journey.
A Sketch freelancer should clarify the product goals, target devices, existing libraries, review process and expected handoff format. It also helps to check whether the team uses Sketch Workspace and how feedback, versioning and developer questions are handled.
