Summary

Automation, introducing new technologies, and process optimization are the challenges of today. These topics require experience and understanding of processes and the interaction of technical and organizational workflows. You can't shape them without in-depth knowledge of compliance, law, and data protection. Through targeted project management, they gain the necessary security and control for successful implementation. As an AI expert, lawyer, data protection officer, and project manager, I step in here, offering with my broad foundation or with my specialization the key to successful project implementations.

In consulting, my task is to show secure yet innovative solution options to the clients of colenio GmbH & Co. KG for meeting digitalization requirements.

Additionally, I support and advise our clients on implementing AI compliance, like the EU AI Act, data protection requirements including their documentation and implementation, especially in the context of new digitalization regulations like the EU Data Act. As a Business Analyst, I also successfully deliver AI projects as a project manager.

As a bridge between departments, I link the business unit and the implementing IT department and steer developments according to tickets until successful completion.
