Summary

As an experienced project manager, I bring in-depth expertise in independently planning, steering, and leading software development, integration, migration, and rollout projects. With many years of experience in managing, coordinating, and tendering IT projects, I am well versed in the specific demands 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, driving efficiency and innovation in the company. I particularly enjoy guiding projects from the initial sketch to a successful rollout, developing tailored solutions that have a lasting impact.

In the area of stakeholder and change management, I see myself as the communication bridge between internal and external partners. My goal is to push change processes forward deliberately and ensure transparent information flow.

I am also very familiar with monitoring, reporting, and process optimization.

For me, the essence of agile working is the iterative approach, transparency & visualization, and continuous reflection. I especially value that breaking work into smaller, manageable steps allows for regular progress and quick reactions to change. Transparency is crucial to ensure everyone knows where the team stands and what challenges lie ahead. Visual tools like Kanban boards help keep progress clear. Reflection is vital—it's the only way to learn from our experiences and keep improving.
