Summary

I am an authentic and determined leader with more than 15 years of experience in project and program management, from international plant engineering to reorganization initiatives. For me, leadership means creating clarity in confusing situations – clarity that makes it possible to stay able to act despite uncertainties and constraints. As a true believer in lifelong learning, I see conflicts and obstacles as opportunities from which people and organizations can emerge stronger. Through my hands-on leadership and consulting experience, I combine solid expertise and practical implementation strength with a knack for getting people into action. I am creative in designing effective yet lean structures and processes to achieve set goals.
