Summary

Freelance business consultant for process optimization & PMO. I support companies in designing their processes to be efficient, goal-oriented, and able to learn. My focus is on designing and improving processes in technical environments, setting up and advancing Project Management Offices (PMO), and guiding change processes.

With over 10 years of experience in process design and project management in mid-sized companies and start-ups, 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 really matters—always aiming to win people over to change and achieve lasting improvements.

I stand out for my strong process understanding, analytical thinking, and structured approach. I am confident in organizing and facilitating workshops.
