Summary
As a PhD in Information Systems with over ten years of leadership experience in digitization, IT, and technology projects, I combine strategic thinking with hands-on execution. In my leadership roles and as managing director, I have reorganized complex IT landscapes, initiated digital transformation processes, and digitized company processes for long-term success. During this work, I have taken on both entrepreneurial and consulting responsibilities, helping medium-sized organizations develop further with technology support.
My technical expertise includes modern platform architectures, data infrastructure, Microsoft 365, and automation. At the same time, I bring solid knowledge of governance, IT management, ISO-certified operations, and GenAI. I’m used to leading projects with seven-figure budgets and guiding cross-functional teams through challenging change processes.
I develop digital strategies that are closely aligned with a company’s operational goals. I focus on efficiency, scalability, user-centricity, and future proofing. My aim isn’t to use technology for its own sake, but to create measurable business value.
I plan, implement and manage modern IT architectures that are reliable, compliant, and ready to grow. I have built and overseen complex system landscapes multiple times, including Microsoft 365, CRM, ERP, and learning platforms. Governance, operational security, and compliance are always part of my approach.
I combine deep process understanding with strong execution. In my projects, I have redesigned, automated, and integrated many workflows, both for internal administrative processes and customer-facing or recurring workflows. The results are higher productivity, fewer gaps between systems, and clear responsibilities.
I lead cross-functional teams and take responsibility for their success, even under tough conditions. My leadership is clear, appreciative, and goal-oriented. I work closely with stakeholders to not only manage change but actively shape it and embed it sustainably in the organization.
As managing director of a digital company, I bring entrepreneurial thinking and strategic responsibility for results. My parallel work as a university lecturer also lets me reflect on the latest tech developments and bring them into practice. This strengthens my ability to develop sustainable, future-focused solutions.
I see leadership as responsibility for development: of people, processes, and organizations. My goal is not only to implement technological innovations but to anchor them in the company culture. I promote a climate of trust, clarity, and accountability, where employees can grow and help shape change. As a leader, I stand for thoughtful decisions, transparent communication, and a constant focus on value creation and future readiness.
