- Qualitäts- und Kostenbewusstsein
Erfahrener und zertifizierter Senior-Projektmanager (IPMA) mit über 15 Jahren Erfahrung in der Leitung komplexer, bereichsübergreifender Projekte in den Bereichen Automotive, (Sonder-) Anlagenbau und Unternehmensentwicklung/Veränderungsprozess. Nachweisliche Erfolge in der Projektplanung, -steuerung und -umsetzung unter Einhaltung von Terminen und Budgetvorgaben. Starke analytische und organisatorische Fähigkeiten sowie ein hohes Maß an Kommunikations- und Führungskompetenz ermöglichen es mir, Projektteams zu motivieren und Stakeholder effizient zu betreuen.
Besonders versiert in agilen und klassischen Projektmanagementmethoden (Scrum, IPMA) und erfahren im Einsatz digitaler Tools zur Ressourcenplanung und Prozessoptimierung (z.B. MS Project). Geschick im Risikomanagement und in der Implementierung von Problemlösungsstrategien, die den Projekterfolg sicherstellen und nachhaltige Ergebnisse erzielen.
Ich bringe ein tiefes Verständnis für die branchenspezifischen Anforderungen und Ziele mit und bin in der Lage, Veränderungen proaktiv zu managen und kontinuierliche Verbesserungen umzusetzen. Mein Fokus liegt stets auf der erfolgreichen Durchführung von Projekten, die den Geschäftswert steigern und zu messbaren Ergebnissen führen.
In meiner bisherigen Karriere habe ich erfolgreich anspruchsvolle Projekte für renommierte Unternehmen geleitet. Als Projektleiter bei Amazon war ich maßgeblich an der Planung und Umsetzung von Automatisierungsprojekten in Verteilzentren beteiligt, was die Effizienz und Logistikabläufe signifikant optimierte. Für TE Connectivity leitete ich den Neubau von verketteten Fertigungslinien, wodurch die Produktionskapazität gesteigert und die Lieferkette gestärkt wurde. Bei der Carl Zeiss Spectroscopy GmbH implementierte ich ein umfassendes Projektcontrolling, das die Transparenz und Steuerbarkeit von Projekten deutlich erhöhte und eine fundierte Grundlage für sichere Projektentscheidungen schuf. Zudem war ich bei Meltem Wärmerückgewinnung GmbH für die Entwicklung der Produktstrategie und Einführung eines Projektmanagementprozesses verantwortlich und begleitete die Geschäftsführung bei der Unternehmensnachfolge.
