Summary

I have been doing digitization projects in various industries – automotive, aviation, logistics – for over 30 years. I started when the word digitalization didn’t even exist.

In these 30 years of consulting experience, I was responsible in several consulting firms for digitization projects in mid-sized companies and large corporations. Since 2016 I’ve been self-employed as a consultant, advising my clients comprehensively on digitalization questions related to business models, R&D, planning, and production.

The main benefit for companies working with me is that I personally guide them through the entire process, from defining their goals and setting their digitalization strategy to the successful completion of their projects. That way I can bring in my own experience. I assemble the right team for the tasks, which ensures projects finish successfully in time, budget, and quality.
