Summary

I translate chaos into functioning systems – through processes, data and technology.

In my previous roles, I've tackled questions like:

How do I scale structures when systems are missing or have grown over time?
How do I make complexity manageable – without overwhelming teams?
How do I establish change where "that's how it's always been" is the norm?

My methodology: → Requirements Engineering: gather, structure, and prioritize requirements → Digital Transformation: translate business processes into technical solutions → Process Design: expose bottlenecks, set priorities that pay off → Agile Implementation: step by step, with the team

What drives me: The moment when something "grown over time" becomes a scalable system. When teams stop reacting and start acting. When data speeds up decisions instead of slowing them down.
