Senior Project Manager & Consultant for Quality, Processes and Transformation

I support companies in designing, managing and implementing complex projects and programs at the interface of quality, processes, organization and digitization. My focus is on shaping structures, metrics and ways of working so that they are effective in day-to-day operations, make decisions easier and enable real improvements.

I work as a freelance senior project manager and consultant with many years of experience in industrial, corporate and regulated environments as well as in transformation- and change-driven organizations.

My Approach My work combines strategic clarity with operational feasibility. I accompany projects not only conceptually, but also take responsibility for structure, progress and outcome.

I work along clear guiding principles:

• Structure before action: Create target visions, responsibilities and decision logic to provide orientation.
• Measurement before opinion: KPIs, quality metrics and transparent criteria instead of gut feeling.
• Implementation before perfection: Solutions must work – not just look good.
• Sustainability before actionism: Standards, routines and processes that last.

• Steering complex projects and programs in dynamic environments
• Building project structures, roadmaps and milestone plans

Quality, KPIs & Standards

• Developing quality models, target visions and KPI systems
• Defining standards and governance structures
• Assessing existing measurement and data collection methods

Developing Pragmatic Standard Processes

• Consulting & implementation
• Preparing solid decision papers
• Facilitating workshops and decision formats
• Supporting change and transformation processes
• Working closely with business units, IT and management

Working Style & Role I work in a structured, analytical and result-oriented way, taking on responsibility where clarity, decision-making and implementation are needed. In projects, I act as needed as:

• Senior Project Manager
• Program or subproject lead
• Consultant with implementation responsibility
• Sparring partner for executives

I move confidently between operational details and management level, ensuring transparency, accountability and progress.

Experience & Context My professional career includes over 20 years of experience in:

• Industry and manufacturing companies
• Regulated and quality-critical environments (e.g. ISO, GMP)
• Service and corporate structures
• Transformation and change programs

This experience allows me to quickly understand complex issues, identify risks early and develop pragmatic solutions.

Collaboration I work freelance, on a project basis and remote. What matters to me is:

• Clear goals and responsibilities
• Transparent decision-making paths
• Focus on results instead of formal time tracking

I bring structure, calm and reliability to projects – even when they are already under pressure.

Who I Work With I especially enjoy working with organizations that:

• Face complex change or restructuring tasks
• Take quality, transparency and effectiveness seriously
• Are looking for an experienced, independent project professional
