Summary
As an experienced project manager, I bring extensive expertise in independently planning, controlling, and leading software development, integration, migration, and implementation projects. Through my many years of experience in managing, coordinating, and tendering IT projects, I am well acquainted with the specific requirements of large IT initiatives.
With my passion for artificial intelligence, I look forward to taking responsibility as a project manager for the targeted use of AI solutions and thereby contributing to increased efficiency and innovation in the company. I especially enjoy guiding projects from the first sketch through to the successful rollout and developing tailored solutions that have a long-term impact.
In the area of stakeholder and change management, I see myself as the communication link between internal and external partners. My goal is to strategically drive change processes and ensure a transparent flow of information. I am also very familiar with monitoring, reporting, and process optimization.

Agile Working Mindset
For Me, The Essence Of Agile Working Is The Iterative Approach, Transparency & Visualization, And Continuous Reflection. I Especially Appreciate That Breaking Work Into Smaller, Manageable Steps Allows For Regular Progress, Helping Us Quickly React To Changes. Transparency Is Crucial To Ensure Everyone Involved Always Knows Where The Team Stands And What Challenges Lie Ahead. Visualizations, Such As Kanban Boards, Are Extremely Helpful In Keeping Track Of Progress. Reflection Is Especially Important To Me—it's The Only Way We Can Learn From Our Experiences And Continuously Improve.
