Summary

Freelance business consultant for process optimization & PMO

I help companies design their processes to be efficient, goal-oriented, and capable of learning.

My focus is on designing and optimizing processes in technical environments, building and advancing Project Management Offices (PMO), and supporting change processes.

With over 10 years of experience in process design and project management in mid-sized companies and startups, I bring a deep understanding of processes, structures, and dynamics in technical organizations. I work analytically, in a structured way, and with a clear focus on what matters – always aiming to engage people in change and achieve sustainable improvements.

I am characterized by a strong process understanding, analytical thinking, and a structured work style. I am confident in organizing and facilitating workshops.
