Summary

Complex large-scale IT projects are my field, where I can take on different roles: from (partial) project management through business process/requirements analysis to test management or hands-on testing, I am active in various areas.

With over 20 years of experience now, I have seen most trends come (and partly go), so both classic waterfall projects and agile approaches have crossed my path many times.

My approach to professional challenges is analytical and communicative; I like working in and on details and closely with experts on both the client and service provider sides. A particular strength is my ability to prepare and convey complex issues clearly and understandably to a wide range of stakeholders.
