Summary
Through my experience leading various consulting projects and in disciplinary leadership positions in controlling, internal audit, organization, and IT, I can set the course for a successful digital transformation within your functional areas.
My work focuses on optimizing decision-making processes and internal business processes.
This is achieved, for example, by introducing and expanding Business / Artificial Intelligence (BI/AI) processes & tools, implementing ERP systems, building cloud-based/on-prem data architectures, and performing data analysis with SAP and Microsoft tools.
I am comfortable working in both traditional and agile project environments, especially in the role of project manager.
