Change Manager

I am currently leading a transformation and digitalization project in close collaboration with Microsoft and contributing to a project at DFKI (German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence). This work deeply fulfills me and marks a new high point in my career. My interest in a new challenge is strategic and tied to significant growth, so I choose my next step carefully. My experience with agile scaling frameworks like SAFe, which I used at VW, highlights my methodological skills. But my greatest strength is the ability to see overarching connections and then pinpoint the crucial action areas. This strategic approach is the foundation of my success, whether in the role of IT director or business analyst.

What drives me as a leader: After many years of working alongside experienced IT leaders on global change initiatives, I now want to inspire a team myself and show them what potential we can unlock together. To me, the roles of business analyst, consultant, and IT leader are not separate disciplines but logical stages in the development of outstanding leadership. My leadership style is based on the belief that great results come from teams where each person can use their strengths to the fullest. I have a deep understanding of the different profiles of IT experts and know how to create the conditions in which they work happily and highly productively. My ability to analyze holistically allows me to look beyond IT and integrate various business perspectives. It is this interface and transformation expertise, combined with a broad technological overview, that is critical for success today. My past successes in complex projects are measurable and show that my approach of combining strategic vision with operational excellence delivers significant improvements. Partners and colleagues appreciate my ability to distinguish between visionary initiatives and pragmatic needs, and to step up in critical situations to guide projects safely to their goals.
