Summary

As a Fractional IT Director and Public Sector Specialist, I help ambitious companies and authorities build high-performing teams, optimize processes and deliver projects efficiently – without the dependencies of a permanent C-level role.

This is how I create value:

  • Strategic IT Leadership – I ensure that technology supports and scales with your business or administrative goals, whether in the private sector or public sector.
  • AI & Data Protection Compliance – I guide you safely through the EU AI Act, GDPR and regulatory requirements so you stay compliant without losing speed.
  • Lean Project Management – I streamline workflows to deliver results faster – especially valuable for public digitalization projects or agile startups.
  • Team Empowerment – I build teams that take ownership and rock projects, whether in hybrid administrative structures or scaling companies.

Why work with me? Most IT leaders focus on systems – I focus on people, processes and results. My approach ensures that technology serves your business or mission, not the other way around. Whether you want to scale, leverage AI, modernize public IT or tame chaotic projects, I bring clarity and momentum to your IT.

Get in touch if you need:

  • A part-time IT leader for strategic guidance (SMEs/Startups/Public Sector)
  • Support with AI compliance (EU AI Act) & data protection – also for authorities and public organizations
  • A Lean PM expert who enables teams – especially in complex environments

Ready to build a tech team that rocks projects – or future-proof your public IT? Then let's talk!
