Summary

As a graduate industrial engineer with over 15 years of experience leading and managing complex IT and infrastructure projects, including several PMO mandates in large corporations and the public sector, I have built a career that matches your SAP S/4 program's requirements in both content and methodology. My expertise covers governance implementation, resource and risk management, KPI-based reporting, stakeholder communication up to the C-level, and the establishment and operation of PMO structures according to established standards (e.g., PRINCE2, PMBOK, Scrum, SAFe).

Currently, I lead the Governance Project Document Management at Deutsche Telekom Business Customers GmbH. I am responsible for migrating the DMS from ImageMaster to SharePoint under high security requirements, developing and rolling out an optimized process concept, creating and controlling a detailed project plan with MS Project, and coordinating all stakeholders up to go-live. This role aligns almost completely with the tasks you described—especially governance execution, performance monitoring and stakeholder communication.

I also have extensive project experience in the public sector. At ITZBund, I worked as a PMO in the 'Bund-ID' project. I supported the cut-over process, tracked operational tasks in Jira, prepared KPI-based reporting and ensured process standardization. This shows my ability to operate in highly regulated and politically sensitive projects with methodological precision and cross-functional team leadership—an essential foundation for a global SAP S/4 program.

I strengthened my methodological skills at Daimler AG as a Scrum Master in a DevOps project, where I moderated PI plannings, led retrospectives and implemented continuous process improvements. I also bring experience from M&A migration projects (Rolls-Royce Power Systems), where resource planning, risk management and close coordination with top management were crucial—skills required for your program as well.

I am proficient with all relevant tools like Jira, Confluence, MS Project, SharePoint and SAP PS. My working style is structured, results-oriented and focused on presenting complex information clearly to C-level decision-makers.

I am confident that my experience and methodological know-how will add immediate value to your SAP S/4 program, and I look forward to discussing this with you in person.
