Summary

In recent years I have worked as overall project manager for reorganization and system implementation projects (with up to 10,000 users) and had overall budget and project responsibility for up to 60 team members with a budget of up to EUR 17 million. The average project duration was 1–2 years. In my view, this, combined with my business administration background, makes me an ideal candidate for the position.
