Summary

As an experienced manager and systemic consultant, I combine deep expertise in transformation management with extensive experience in shaping digital change processes. In my more than 15-year career, I have led international teams of up to 25 people and successfully executed complex implementation projects. My work is characterized by the systematic integration of agile methods, change management, and sustainable organizational development. My focus is always on balancing efficient structures with the human element of successful transformation.

In my role as a transformation consultant, I merge the analytical precision of top management consulting with a systemic view of the big picture. I believe real change requires more than just concepts—it demands a deep understanding of the dynamics within organizations and the people who drive them. The key lies in balancing structured methodologies with activating internal potentials.
