Summary

As an experienced Interim Manager with a strong focus on strategic organizational and business development, transformation, and change management, I have successfully led international transformation projects for many years. My expertise lies in implementing comprehensive change initiatives and developing sustainable business strategies that maximize both human and economic potential. With a deep understanding of the challenges posed by restructuring, digital transformations, and efficiency improvements, I have successfully delivered numerous projects—from the implementation of complex IT platforms (e.g., ServiceNow, Celonis, Workday) to the optimization of business processes and the promotion of a forward-looking leadership culture. My ability to bridge the gap between ambitious objectives and available resources makes me a valuable partner for companies seeking to implement transformative changes in a targeted and sustainable manner.
